possible clues?
I can not remember the manufacturer - I only remember downloading the game and since I did not get any messages to buy it, I'll assume it was Freeware.
Here is the only site where I can find the game still mentioned..
http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-27553/arcade.html
Scroll down to "P" - "Pune"
a primary ftp and an alt1 are mentioned.
The primary ftp is ftp://mirror.aol.com/miro1/PHT/pub/game ... ne_v09.zip
click on it and it looks promising for an while, but eventually returns a file not found.
The alt1 address is http://archive.pht.com and just calls up a generic search page.
Thanks for the reply

you could always try using an ftp program to get into that site
ftp://mirror.aol.com/miro1/PHT/pub
as it is public domain..

Pune
Well, I know the game...cause along with my buddy I wrote it in early 1995. I was actually inspired by an Amiga game "Dune" but of course that was influenced by Tron.
Glad to see someone still wants it. BTW, it's main use was an after drinking game when we all piled back to the flat in Edinburgh. It was born at 111a Lothian Road for anyone interested

Pune - not freeware or PD
Also, it wasn't PD or freeware. It was Shareware - I asked for 5 pounds or whatever else. Some people bought me alcohol by ordering it direct from my local bottle shop instead of sending me cash
The best was a guy in the Netherlands who got me a bottle of tequilla - but I was in Sydney Australia byu that time. He just called the other side of the world, gave his creid card and said "A guy will be in in a few days asking for some tequilla. Give him what he wants and charge me".
I sent him a version with modified 'tequilla worm' version
I haven't seen Pune run in years - I'm trying as wel speak but no luck yet. I still ahve the source code so maybe I'll try and do a Java network version - that was always my plan - it just didn't happen.
