The advances currently being made in the Acorn games scene suggest that in the future traffic will grow still more. Already over 1/4 of Acorn-related posts from the last 100 posts to comp.sys.acorn were games related. Charter ------- comp.sys.acorn.games is an unmoderated newgroup which will serve as a forum for the discussion of games on Acorn machines. Topics that may be discussed include: - Announcements of new games releases - Original game reviews - Magazine game review summaries (currently posted to comp.sys.acorn) - Discussion of game design - Hints and cheats for games Discussion ---------- Any reasonable argument against the creation of comp.sys.acorn.games should be posted to news.groups (or do a followup to this post). Discussion can then take place.

Those who like games should vote for it to get a forum for discussion which would be less formal and intimidating than comp.sys.acorn. Those who don't like games would be more than happy to see games traffic moving off comp.sys.acorn. Those who fall in between and argued against it last time the subject was brought up on the grounds of lack of traffic should by now be able to see that the traffic is there, even in the current newsgroups, and will grow.
