Telegaming

A twelve-year-old in Georgia? A grandmother in Walla Walla? But that's interactive telegaming, and I think it's a wave of the future.

Multiplayer telegaming, game playing with other people over telephone lines, overcomes this obstacle.

But there is a lighter side to telecomputing — multiple-player telegaming.

Telegaming has been around for a long time. For centuries, people have played long distance chess and backgammon games by messenger and, more recently, by mail or phone.
