Did your brother appear to have a good time despite being made  
fun of?

Was/is Sean's version interBBS capable?  The one we played  
delivered packets that you then "load" into your local game. When  
done, you send off the updated packets that have your play.

Later, we discovered a live version of the game where you can  
play with other people at any time of day.
