PLATO and gaming

Great job, Matt. I just applied for an account at Cyber1 (though stupidly not with my AA e-mail account). I should get access within a few days.

By the way, as far as I know, none of the games were ever converted for use on the micro PLATO implementations (TI-99/4a, Atari 8-bit, etc.). I'd love to track down the reason for that (was it because the games weren't "official"?, was it because the games used screen modes that the micro implementations couldn't easily accommodate?, etc.)...
