Mine was on the Pig & Whistle BBS in Montreal (684-0282, I think it was), back in 1987.
Running on an Atari 800xl, maxed out with 256k RAM plus four full floppies (180K each), all hooked to the net with a blazing fast 1200 baud modem. I was limited to my puny little 300 baud.

The Front de Liberation de Quebec. British Trade Commissioner James Cross and Quebec Cabinet Minister Pierre Laporte. October 1970. Commonly referred to as "The October Crisis"
This movie probably would have become as big a hit as Blade Runner...
Blade Runner (new special edition due on DVD later this year, BTW) tanked at the box office originally - it found its legs on TV and video. Scrapping the voice-over and sappy ending in the Director's Cut didn't hurt either.
In decrypting the above and posting it here, I am violating the law of the USA.

And creator of the attacker - Mr bin Laden is an American creation, much like Hussein and Noriega before him.
Sadly ironic how the thugs America supports overseas all come home to roost.
The SMC Barricade 7004ABR does this - up to 20 public ports, TCP or UDP, can each be mapped to a specific NAT IP and port.

And that's what ebay asked him to do - file a sworn statement. Otherwise any crackpot can harass vendors.

When was Battlezone released? Doug Neubauer's Star Raiders for the Atari 400/800 was released in 1979 - and it has (more or less) first person 3d.
Look, they're gonna piss away your money anyways - might as well get something useful out of it.
They aren't perfect, and more support for private enterprise in space is needed, but NASA is worthy of support.
