Forcer (SJ Research?) was an amusing one. It was like Notify without the
indication of who it was from.

Certain games that read the keyboard using the OS (rather than directly)
were good .. if you send a string of something like
"ZXZXZXZXZXZ////////::::::::ZXZX" to the station, it would get dumped
into the keyboard buffer, resulting in the character moving what
appeared to be randomly, usually followed by it's demise at the hands of
a baddie.

ISTR that Croaker was one such game.. O:)
