This is a fantastic project. I've been a dedicated player of this little game for years now, and I keep improving and learning. Max has not only preserved the game beautifully, he's expanded it with analytical tools in a way that I know would have made Jim happy and proud.

If you were a player of game Network Wars by the late Jim Rutt, I've made a web version to preserve the game: maxbittker.github.io/network… I know there are a handful of passionate players out there, and it's been pulled from the app store.
