News You Can Bruise for 2003 April 19 (entry 2)

Sat Apr 19 2003 11:34 Game Roundup:

• Zinc is an IF interpreter front-end (it does both TADS and Z-code) with network support, so that people can connect across the network to collaborate on a game.
• There's a new Celestia, which now comes with a user's guide.
• Langband is an Angband clone written in Lisp, which aims to contain existing and new Angband variants as plugins (what has happened to the good old technique of just cramming every single feature into the same game?). The Langband logo also demonstrates the debilitating effect on Roman discipline of imported Greek culture.
