[CALUG] [off-topic ] Baltimore ACM Chapter Organizational Meeting

[Matt Fisher]

Interesting.  After going to a local lan party with my then-7 year old son
we got hooked on Rise of Nations which is made by Big Huge Games in Towson.
(And thanks for that SW, we'll have to do it again sometime)

Any other game companies in Maryland ?
