A few of the chips came in the form of refrigerator magnets or on key chains. In addition, Michael “kidZee” Zimmers used the artwork to produce decks of playing cards.
After BARGE was over, Steve Jacobs predicited: “Sorry to say I don’t think any more BARGE chips will ever be made. They were simply too much trouble.” Good thing he was wrong!
We have the text of the original annoucement (reformatted somewhat due to being mangled by various Usenet archviers).
