Thomas, what you describe is actually a different form of entertainment from a simple game. A serial mystery or similar device has great potential for online services but I suspect might be hard to run through the mail. Large numbers of people would be at different points at different times, making it hard to co-ordinate. Then there would be the problems of "I didn't get item numer 5", etc. Still, under some circumstances it would be fun. Reminds me of the contest Atari had with their video games. Please catch message #99861, I sent to John/TCR, for some additional feelings on this subject. I'm in favor of almost any POSITIVE steps in this industry. Ted
