I found this dos game on my PC at work. We're not really 'sposed to have games but the IT guy missed this one. Funny thing is I can't find any references to it while trying to research it on the web. I'd like to bring it home but I don't have any floppy drives any more and the machines at work don't have flash drive support.

It's a space game shoot em up with serial cable netwoking. For primitive 3D It's not bad. I'm guessing 1989 or 1990 just off the top of my head.. Anyone ever seen this?


"Novell DOS 7.0 comes bundled with their NETWARS game. This addicting VGA game can be played alone, or with up to 3 other users over a network. Other enhancements abound, destined to be covered in great detail in dozens of articles likely to be published in the coming months. "

I vaguely remember this... was it written by Dani Bunten, of MULE and Seven Cities of Gold fame? She made a lot of games ahead of her time, and now it is starting to ring a bell, what with the serial / null modem cable.
