Usenet Newsgroups

I've never been much into Internet newsgroups because using them is such a slow way to communicate (it's almost as bad as reading hard copy). But here are a few newsgroups that might be worth checking out:

alt.games

rec.games.programmer

comp.graphics.algorithms

comp.graphics.animation

comp.ai.games

If you've never read newsgroups before, read on.… You'll need a newsreader that can download the information and allow you to read the message threads. Most Web browsers, such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, have a built-in newsreader. Just read the Help files and figure out how to set up your browser to read newsgroups.

Then log on to any of the newsgroups, such as alt.games, download all the messages, and start reading!
