    Haha. Don't remember the last time I was on. my last copy of paradise has a 2004 date but i doubt that's when i played it. Just thought of it again today..so funny. Such a great game, bronco and paradise although I loved paradise for its complexity and
    strategy and bronco for its pick-up ease of play. My wrist is still messed up from too many hours of playing it :) What a rush!

    I might well give it another go. It's been a while but I need something different to do.

    Ah what a blast it was playing on bronco back in the day. I recently started playing again, it's kind of sad and lonely, no humans to play with these days, just have to play against the bots and pretend they are real.

    Oh man, so long ago...college days...I remember peskylikeafish and picturemenaked...some of the really OGs that I eventually chatted with and gave me some constructive tips on how to improve my game.

    Such a simple game...So elegant and immediate. All the best aspects in a deceptively simple package.

    I started playing the fall of 1991 at Iowa State University. Played fairly regularly (sometimes TOO regularly, who needs to study for finals, anyway?) until about 1994. Played off and on with whatever Windows client I could find since then.

    Hello all,

    I was, unfortunately, never any good at Netrek, but I was exposed to it
    via Brick Verser when I was working for KSU.

    It always seemed like a great game, and I've wanted to get people back
    into playing it again. Any chance there are enough people on this group
    who would like to schedule a game?
