I need the Star Trek modules, which I recall waiting overnight to pirate from a BBS on my 14.4k. "Do NOT pick up the phone, mom."

Also Lunatic Fringe - somehow and for some reason a full top down space shoot-em-up in After Dark. Probably for office workers to play, I do recall there was a "boss mode" that pulled up a fake spreadsheet or something.

I need the Star Trek modules

They're there. Installable from within the program.


Did you forget to use that download protocol that lets you resume downloads or were you normal. I think it was zoom something.



I was 10 or something, so I'm guessing I just Z...M it.


I was pretty young so I barely knew how to operate the telnet terminal - we used one called White Knight. I recall it had a white background by default (hence the name, I suppose) and a green and yellow pie chart download progress indicator.

Not sure if the protocol was available or easily enabled at the time or via those means. I surely would have used it! Buy my brother was the one who set up the application in the first place.


Everyone needs Lunatic Fringe.
