There are 24 games in all.
I can't recall all of them though some of the most noteable include
tradewars, a couple of other galactic trading games such as galaxy 4, yanky
trader, some fantasy games like usurper (which is rather fun), and legend of
the red dragon (the game that legend of the green dragon was based on), then
some random strange ones such as one called darkness set in a distopean
world, a very whacky one about drug taking and an even stranger one about
being trapped in an assilem.
Some good stuff there game wise though, indeed I've always meant to get more
into trade wars though when I tried the game I didn't quite get the
relations or how stuff worked so I probably need to give it another more
serious go.
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.

Nope, some people tried vipmud or other mud clients and it didn't work.
On xp I had no problems accessing telnet, it's just a dos style console
window though you'd not want to use it for muds because of the text coming
in in real time.
if your using Windows 7 or whatever, the link I gave has instructions on
how to connect.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi,
Could I not use vip mud to connect to this? I didn't think telnet was
that
accessible?

Hi Josh.
I'd be interested if someone did make the game more accessible at some
point.
I went to http://www.neurohack.com/anacreon/index.html which is the
developer's own site and looked at the windows version a few years ago.
There was nothing specifically wrong! with the access but a lot of the
ways
information was displayed were a bit wonky from a screen reader
perspective,
such as for example displaying all your stats in rows, I also found the
main
starmap a bit weerd though I admit I probably didn't check out as much of
the game as I could've done.
Two things that really stood out for me about the game however and which
i
thought sounded fascinating were firstly that combat was rather more
complex
and tactical than just slamming your preprepared fleet against your
opponents and letting the random number generator do the rest, it
involved
things like tactics around taking out planetary artilliary, ground
troops,
what type of planet it was and lots of other things.
Secondly, I did like the idea that you could play single player against
the
computer and didn't have to play against others either online or not.
Btw, if anyone wants to play tradewars, along with lots of other old bbs
games such as usurper, legend of the red dragon, yanky trader and barren
realms, if you connect to nerbbs.com a lot are being run in accessible
form
just for Vi users.
It was setup by a user called Ner and lots of people have had fun with
it.
More info on connecting can be found at :
http://wiki.nerbbs.com/
Including how to connect with windows other than xp that doesn't have
telnet.
actually I did always mean to get into trade wars sinse the game looked
like
lots of fun.
All the best,
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] anacrion game
from tony
Hi all,
In the oldgames.7z archive, I found a game called Anacreon. 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. There are several included scenarios or you
can write your own. The only problem is it uses direct screen writes,
so you'll probably need to use your screen review mode to read the
text. As I say, the sources are available, so feel free to make it
more accessible. If strategy games are your thing, give this one a try.
