Or would that be 1/2 Thrust?

Anyway, I am considering running a game at a local Mini-Con that
goes off every few months.

I wondered if anyone has a lite version that:

1. Is OK with GZG

2. Fits everything necessary to play a limited game on a page.

There was a beer & pretzels game released on the
old list way back when - I don't have a copy handy
and an archive search is fruitless

> 1. Is OK with GZG

They released it originally on the old mailing list

Yep - pretty much did, it may be too simplistic for your needs

Someone might have it lurking on their Hdrive.

The title Jon(gzg) put on it: "Retro Thrust"

I have it on my harddrive somewhere...couldn't find it though... I had to dig
up the paper copy I have. It's in the archives in the Feb
16-18, 1997 file, "where this all started..."  Its about 1/3 from the
top.

It is the "bare bones" version of FT.

i've webbified it (mainly so i can read it myself), at:

http://users.ox.ac.uk/~univ0938/gzg/retro-thrust.html

i've made some changes consistent with the move from text to html, eg
replacing ALL CAPS TEXT with strongly-emphasised text, and putting in a
couple of lists and a table where appropriate.

if there's a copyright objection, let me know.

No objection from me, Tom. All the acknowledgements are in place and it looks
fine.

Looks good.

organically hand-crafted with an authentic unix text editor. no HTML
standards were harmed in the construction of this page (as i have now added a
doctype). frames, layout tables, fancy colours, background images: crimes
against nature! even <center> tags are suspicious...

actually, all it proves is that with sufficiently high-quality content,
formatting is superfluous:).
