Oldschool BBS games

I was playing around on everwars (www.everwars.com) for a few days, and it was pretty fun until they implemented a 5 minute time limit between fights and everyone I knew left. What would normally take 10 minutes to play now takes over an hour.

Frustrated, my friend came up with a solution. He setup a BBS (appropriately named Nostalgia) and installed Legend of the Red Dragon on it. It's very similar to everwars, and we had a lot of fun playing it.

Well we've decided to take things a step further. Anyone remember the multiplayer Trade Wars 2002 game? I went ahead and registered a copy and got it setup and working.

If you're interested in playing, I've setup the server to be accessible via the 'net. No registration process, just needs a name and password that you can login with in the future.

telnet://pwned.com

If you're used to helper programs to play the game, they've got a couple windows versions out that work over telnet. Personally I recommend SWATH ( www.swath.org ), it's got all the decent scripts included (such as port pair trading, sell/steal/transport, etc.) and besides, automation makes life easy! This takes all the micro-managing (read: the not fun stuff) out of the game.

If you're interested in playing, drop on by! Hope to see you there!

PS. We're running 2 games at the moment. Game A is 'classic' settings, while game B is in tournament mode and will start in 6 days.

dude i use to play the hell out of LotRD on a local BBS in 94 or so untill they got busted and shut down due to piracy and porn :)

I beat the game

i thought i ruled.............


now...... I know..... I did rule.

Thanks for the plug splooge. :)

If anyone wants the ip to Nostalgia, drop me a pm. It has registered versions of lord, usurper, tradewars, bre, and falcon's eye up and running atm.

PLEASE GO TO THE NOSTALGIA SITE! We also have Arrowbridge up! The best door game ever!!! Better then Lord2!

BTW, I am in NO WAY connected with that BBS. Just a FYI =)
