Hi.

You may, or may not remember the good old days of playing BBS door games (depends on how old you are), and what enjoyment you had playing coop, or against other board members online, well you can once more. I just finished getting the game server up, and running, so if you wish to the play best online games ever created for bulletin boards this is your chance.

There are only 10 nodes, or slots at one time, so if you are refused entry that could only mean one thing, all the MP slots are full. Just call back in a little while.

The games that can be played are:

1: Tradewars 2002 version 3.09b (Multiplayer)(10 Nodes)
2: LORDS (Multiplayer)(10 Nodes)
3: Planets: TEOS (Multiplayer)(10 Nodes)
4: Usurper (Multiplayer)(10 Nodes)
5: Barren Realms Elite (BRE)(Multiplayer)(10 Nodes)
6: LORDS 2 (Multiplayer)(10 Nodes)

Hi drhet58, good to see you.

BBS Door Games are online games which users who were members of Bulletin Board Systems back from the Late 80's up to now can play alone, or against others in real time. They are just games like cards, role playing, fantasy, space etc, etc. The list of games are pretty much endless. If you visit my BBS at [url=telnet://paranorbbs.no-ip.org:23]Paranor's BBS[/url] or visit my game server [url=telnet://paranorbbs.no-ip.org:5000]Paranor's Game Server[/url] you will see for yourself what a BBS Door game is really like. Back in the the late 80's I began my first bulletin board was called Mycroft (citadel software) which put me on a road of total misery (I liked it too much).

For those who are new to the world of Doors, BBS's, and the like, I would suggest you visit the Game server if you wish to play games, if you wish to have the full experience then please visit Paranor's BBS.

Anyway, I hope I helped you out a bit, and hope to see you online.

One more thing, if you can't login or refused connection that means my connections are full, so try again later.

Cheers...

Hi drhet58...great to hear from you.

If you are using Windows 7, first you have to activate the service.

Go to your 'Start'->'Control Panel'->'Programs & Features'->'Turn Windows Features on or off'

Scroll down to 'Telnet Client', and put a tick mark in the box.

OR

Download this terminal program from here https://sites.google.com/site/virtualpc ... ects=0&d=1

For some reason Sycnhronet link is broken.
