Hasbro Em@il Games - Send and Receive Fun!

In 1999, Hasbro Interactive (with Random Games and VR-1 Entertainment) launched a series of play-by-email games under the "Em@il Games" brand. What began as a series of popular board-game conversions soon grew to licensed sports titles and an X-COM installment. How did they work? Were they any good, or just mere shovelware? And whatever happened to them?
