Well-researched and well-prepared, this is a cornucopia of information for those who don't already waste enough time on the computer networks. Starting with a solid introductory set of questions and answers, the listings are divided into the broad topics of shoot-'em-up, role-playing and adventure, strategy and classics, puzzles and trivia, video games, and MUDS. Within each section there are further divisions; the strategy and classics part has listings for chess, card games, war-gaming, and so forth. The individual listings may describe Usenet newsgroups, specific downloadable game programs, tip files, specific online and interactive games, and other resources. Internet users should note that "net" is used in a generic sense. A large proportion of the listings advertise games only available on commercial online services.

In this case, and in the case of games available from commercial systems, no referents are given for archive filenames or patterns to check. Still, the sheer mass of data will provide something interesting for almost everyone.
