Ultra-Mar

Editor’s Note: Originally written out of boredom and shared online in late 1997, shortly after moving from Tennessee to Switzerland by way of Florida and Belgium, just out of high school. Lightly edited for spelling and clarity.

A good year to you, my dear friends. It has been a long time since you have heard from me, and you have no doubt worried about my health and situation. Well, after many weeks, I have finally come into civilized territory. Now I hope to relate to you my experiences in Ultra-Mar.

Any TCP Game?

Context: This was one of my first public posts online, revisited and contextualized thirty years later.
