Re: back shift operations..
An op at one place I worked wrote a game of Space Invaders in DCL on a VAX. Each sprite had its own process and automatically moved itself, when hit the process was killed.
Very cool, but took a lot of power at higher levels, when the sprites moved faster.
Maybe that is where BOFH got his idea for Unreal Tournament with enemies being users' PCs...
