Re: [Audyssey] bbs games was RE: anacrion game
Hi Darren. Lots of people have got the nerbbs to work on windows, there is a topic about it on audiogames.net if you wanted to ask questions, though if you wanted to use Ios that's okay to, anything that can do the telnet connection works. As I said with Xp there is no problem and it's definitely worth it for some of the games. All the best, Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. - Original Message - From: darren harris darren_g_har...@btinternet.com To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, May 22, 2015 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bbs games was RE: anacrion game Yeah I might try it on ios because it looks to be a less painful setup. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 22 May 2015 20:10 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bbs games was RE: anacrion game There are 24 games in all.

It looked interesting, but it appeared to be missing files. I did some looking on Google and found that not only is the DOS game still around, but it had some new developments and the source has been released. Therefore, I present two versions of Anacreon, including Pascal sources and a manual. If there are any Turbo Pascal programmers out there, please let me know as I have a question for you. Anyway, if you have no idea what the game is about, it's similar to Tradewars 2002 back in the BBS era. You build an empire by conquering various planets and star systems.
