Everyone I've seen so far has been in the early to mid 1990s.

I began looking at Usenet news around 1987 or 1988, though I did not
participate much until 1990 or so.  Started with rn on an Ultrix VAX 3600, then
graduated to Gnews on an Ultrix VAX 2200 on (under) my desk.  Eventually I
started reading news on the 3600 again, now via Xterm from the Mac IIci on my
desk.

Got a Netcom account after getting laid off from Stanford in 1991, so they were
my first commercial ISP.  When Netcom imploded early this century, got an
account at Panix, and have been here for roughly 2 decades.  Both had full news
feeds, so I've been happy every since.

Probably Dan, he beat me by a year (1979 vs. 1980).

I distinctly remember several long discussions with Abe Lincoln in
soc.it.2me in the 1850s. IIRC he went on to develop quite a keen
interest in politics.

A long time ago.  I went to Bell Labs to work on a mainframe
application.  I believe that stint was entirely in 79.
We had multiple ways to edit the source code.  I preferred the UNIX
based ways.  Someone showed me Rogue.  I believe rec.games.rogue was the first
newsgroup I accessed.

Of course I have memory problems like everyone my age but that's the way
I remember it.

I also remember the rogue arrow bug.  Petty sure I found out about the
bug on Usenet.

I think you did something like drop an arrow.  When you picked it up
it could have any amount of hit power.  Negative was no good.
I got one with insane amounts of hit power and tried to find out how
deep I could descend.

1979 in Bell Labs.. that's awesome, thanks for sharing!

I don't see a rec.game or .games .. must be long gone now.

That's unlikely.

$ cat ~/.newsrc | sort | grep rec.games | wc -l
217

Most of them appear to be abandoned.  reg.games.pinball is
the only one with over a million articles; the rest have
a few thousand or less.    rec.games.chess.politics has
240k posts, but then, politics.

I looked in at rec.games.computer.stars; seems I missed out on this (not
that I ever got into Civilisation etc either).

creenshot of group list from nntp.aioe.org (free server also for posting)
with display filter set to 'roque':

	Thing is USENET was invented in 1979 at Duke University and the
first three computers (all in North Carolina) were peered in 1980 using the
first released version of the software. It spread like wildfire after that
of course but those were the start dates in every account of it I have ever
read.

	i have a terrible time trying to pin down when things happened that
I remember, often it is a matter of deduction.

	Al Gore *built* Duke University, he taught Tom Truscott and Jim
Ellis just after he got Bill Gates excited about the microprocessors he'd
told the guys at Intel how to make. All this as a warm up to discovering
climate change.

I thought that the older twin, Bronto Soros discovered climate change.

That settles it, then.  Al Gore is a myth.
