Yeah, because I'd hacked the source code to make they in a more sane arrangement.

And it didn't compile on VAX after I seem to recall..

Last year we came across the same issue, I believe WOPR (?) was setup to run a US version of the software..

My buddy who was playing under 'Budster' was going well, but the lag was simply too much to deal with from the US. Where is CHIMPY at these days?

ELEVEN DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE DEADLINE!

The CHIMPY:: 2013 Retro VT100 Challenge closes at 23:59 GMT on 31-DEC-2013.

At the moment, the leaders are (only the top two players are awarded):

1. Mark Holmes     with a score of 9,816
2. Mark Wickens   with a score of 7,640

Unfortunately the mystery player vola1 disappeared with his score of over 11,000 - make sure you screen shot your result when entering you name into the leaderboard, and send it to me.

Come on guys, let's get over 10K this year as well, SET HOST to CHIMPY and log in as TETRIS...
