Name for our new game network...

(1 / 2)


We have now received approval to start preliminary work on Atari's multi-player
interactive game network...

However, we cannot use the word "Atari" anywhere in the name for our network.
Also, the initial working name for our network "CyberNet" is also in use by
UniSys for one of their hardware systems, so we can't use that, either.

So, we are in search of a new name.  This would be the name of the network
under which the user mall and all other games on our network would be played.

Any suggestions?

Please send your responses to this E-mail address...  If you submit a name
which we end up using, I will reward you with a 6-pack of your choice of
beverage!
	Thanks,
		Rusty
