-Scott Miller, President of 3D Realms

"After logging on and looking around, however, I soon got a different impression. TEN really is interesting. And revolutionary...after pointing and clicking my way around for a while, I suddenly realized that this is the first network I've been on that doesn't feel slow, clumsy or behind the times. It looks great, it's fun, and hey, it actually works.  TEN is seamlessly integrated. You start the program and click on an icon to dial, then you connect and you get a great-looking interface.  Some of the things they achieve have been pioneered by the ImagiNation Network, but I think they've made significant improvements over INN in the areas of interface and human connectivity. Also, though it's obviously a matter of personal preference which you prefer, TEN doesn't look and feel like a cyberspace version of Candyland, the old children's board game. It manages to be fun without being juvenile. If TEN continues to grow in the direction they're headed, expect them to be a major player in on-line."
-Strategy Plus, August 1995

"The Total Entertainment Network (TEN) has designed an Internet interface that sets the standard for online service facelifts."
-The Net, March 1996
