With the rise of the Internet, postal gaming and postal games zines have largely been replaced by e-mail and websites. Play by mail games differ from popular online multiplayer games in that, for most computerized multiplayer games, the players have to be online at the same time. With a play by mail game, the players can play whenever they choose, since responses need not be immediate; this is sometimes referred to as turn-based gaming and is common among browser-based games. Some computer games can be played in a play by mail mode: one makes one's "move", mails a file to the opponent who uses it to make his or her "move" in response, and he or she then mails something back.
Several non-commercial email games played on the Internet and BITNET predate these.
Megazell's Comment - This is the GO TO list for play by email games. With 73 Free games listed...it's a awesome time for those into this genre. If you have a friend or family member that use to play but just does not have the time and wants to play games...this is a great way to get them back in. Many of the RPGs have randomly generated dungeons and worlds...so there is no pattern to master just key decision making.
