Yes it did. Neal even had a separate website set up for those games, divided into The Eagle League and The Wolfpack League. We had some great times in those days. My only complaint was that there were few players willing to be the destroyers, so I always had that job when I really wanted to switch back and forth.
There was a consistent problem with time lags. After a half-hour of play you would find yourself running behind or ahead of other players. When one member complained that this never happened with the original stock games, someone replied "That's because the modified version is more stable. Under the original stock games you never saw a time lag because as soon as it started the game would drop you and you'd crash out."
But still, it was a lot of fun.
