   Little Shop of Horrors for C*Base BBS

   Dear all,   
      
   The C*Base BBS software for the C64 supported add-on modules (commonly   
   called "doors" on DOS BBSes). One such module was a multiplayer game   
   called Little Shop of Horrors. Like the stage and film musicals of the   
   same name, the game featured a man-eating plant; the player's job was to   
   grow his or her plant by providing it with sufficient amounts of meat   
   and blood. Players would log into the game once per day to feed their   
   plants, and could interact (albeit not in real time) with other players,   
   such as by sending their plant to attack those owned by other players.   
      
   The game was lots of fun and had fantastic full-colour, full-screen   
   PETSCII graphics.   
      
   Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any information on the Web about   
   this game. Can anyone help by identifying the author, or maybe finding a   
   copy of the game itself? I believe it was freely distributable, at least   
   to C*Base licensees, so there might not be any copyright issues in   
   posting it on the Web. (C*Base itself has since been released under the   
   terms of the GNU General Public License, so anyone is free to obtain a   
   copy.)   
      
   Regards,   
   Tristan
