Modem Games Yellow Pages

The Modem Games Yellow Pages (MGYP) were created to assist gamers in finding people in their area code to play computer modem games with. Strategy games such as Command and Conquer and Warcraft II are solid examples (next to the usual line-up of action games). This is a great idea since many of us would rather play for free in our area against someone rather than spending online time to play head-to-head with someone over the Net. Also, most of us don't have access to Networked stations either. Add your name to the list or search the large database for locals. You may also download a selection of Doom WADs while you're here.
