[Consim-l] 1987 PBeM Reference

[Tracy Johnson]

I was putting up my old wargame brochures up on ebay and I noticed something 
unusual when I put up a Flying Buffalo 1987 PBM catalog:

It made a reference to "ELECTRONIC MAIL" on the back (showing their Compuserve and 
MCI addresses.)

Aside from anecdotal references to e-mail gaming at the MIT Computer Dept. and 
other Universities, I think this is the earliest commercial reference to wargame 
PBeM I've ever seen.

Has anyone ever seen a commercial reference to PBeM earlier?

(Consim-L responders be sure to copy me personally as I don't get CONSIM posts.)
