If I don't hear from her for several weeks, I know what became of her. It was where my family adopted the surname Fireshadow, and where my mother cultivated most of her playing personalities. I would play the version that Sierra later released for single player use. It was somewhat awkward, however, as they kept some of the multiplayer functionalities.

I often found that my earliest experiences online, in the dial-up and BBS days, were among my most intimate with the people I met online. For preservation purposes, would you consider copying the patch diskette and install disks to your computer? There are several archives that I'm sure would love to have a copy of the sysop patch!

Not only was it my first experience with online gaming, it became my "home away from home" so to speak. The friendships I made way back then have stayed with me and Ive sent all of them the url for downloading the Revival ! I'm such a pack-rat I've even found my original install disks as well as my sysop (I was HOST Molly ) patch. Thank you. Thank you for bringing INN back for us :-) "Goody" aka HOST Molly, Lovey You cant imagine how thrilled I am that INN is back.

The INN Revival works astonishingly well, and I've noticed that every month they have something new and improved. It really is a great project. Thanks for dropping by. Ron,

I spent years playing cards there and socializing with other users who i still keep in touch with a few. What made that place..is you felt like home... and no one cared who and what you were. One would loose all track of time there... playing and chatting and there was something to do for all ages and intererest. I may still have a INN mousepad around someplace if wife didnt toss it and probably some install disks too..lol. ATT then AOL trashed the site and AOL..stole the games and tried to updated the interface but never worked... why mess with it when you have the best I always said.. There was a site called Igames which was a hacked version of only the clubhouse games which lasted for a few years before it went bust also. The Sierra Network founders were visionaries..made a place when one could forget his/problems and enjoy card and board and role playing games and not have to be a PC Geek. No One would know but you may have been playin poker with founder Ken...
