Description

Interactive 23 Bytes is an online multiplayer game designed for the TRS-80. The game was included as a sample game in an article on how to build the "Mickey Modem" in a Kilobaud magazine article. The modem allowed for creating a direct connection between two TRS-80 tape drives by hooking them up to the telephone line. The game itself is an adaptation of 23 Matches. Two players take turns removing 1, 2 or 3 matches from a pile. Whoever is forced to take the last match loses the game.
