PBEM= Play By E-Mail

Games like the old XCom, or 4000 A.D., etc.

Usually they are turn-based strategy games that are played via email.

The guys just saw the guys face and offered some viagra.. whats the big deal? great service if they offer it to who needs it. People always getting such kind of spam... Never had any about pharmacy stuff, perhaps if people ever quits browsing pr0n sites and giving away their contact data..

I never cared for the $$ aspect either.

I was mainly guaging interest because I am adding PBEM capabilities to a couple of the games I am working on and will be needing beta testers.

Yeppers, it would also include sports games. Many of the PBEMs evolved out of the old snail mail games.
