Anyone Into Retro Gaming Besides Door Games?

Hey ya'll! Just trying to ignite some conversation, and would love to see if
theres anyone into retro gaming in general?

I definitely have a soft spot for NES/SNES/Gameboy games and retro consoles and
retro import consoles and when I get a chance to stream to twitch, a lot of it
is SNES games. :)

Also totally amazed that people out there in the interwebs are still making
games for these old systems to this day. I plan on checking out this game on
Steam that was also made for the Gameboy called Marron's Day. It looks pretty
cute and the dev definitely put a lot of love into it, especially with making
the Gameboy version and it being able to work on a Super Gameboy/Super Gameboy
2. :)

Comments:

By Fevermario on Dec 3rd 2024 at 7:51am

I have a sizeable collection of N64, SNES, and Gameboy games, even a few NES
games, and the hardware to run them on. The thing I'm most proud of in my
collection is the atomic purple game boy color, that was and still is a thing
of beauty.

Of course, they all get taken out and played on a regular basis, becuase games
were meant to be PLAYED, not to sit on a shelf and look pretty.

Some of it was hand-me-downs from my older sister (My family had fallen on hard
times when I was a kid) and the rest of it I started collecting when I was
older.

By Booch on Dec 3rd 2024 at 1:40pm

I had a nintendo for a little while as a kid. We didn't own many games, but we
certainly had Mario. Fast forward to the early 2000's, there's the original
Xbox. An acquiantance of mine was able to mod the Xbox with custom firmware and
load emulators for NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, etc.

During college and for years afterwards, I enjoyed playing all of these old
games on the Xbox. It worked very well, except for N64. The Xbox has been
collecting dust for years now. It probably still works :)

There were the classic DOS games I came back to frequently like Doom, Quake,
Wolfenstein, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, etc. and set up an old laptop just
for playing these DOS games.

My most recent classic play has been Raptor: Call of the Shadows. It's
available on GoG. Back in the day, I was only able to play the shareware
version. Now, it's pretty low cost to pick up the full title. I purchased it
years ago on GoG. A few months ago, I ran through the entire campaign set on
Elite difficulty :)

What Systems Do You Use?

I am curious to know what systems you to access this BBS. I don't have anything
special, just WIN11 with SYNCTERM running the BBS on a spare 14" B&W CRT I
rarely used. It's sole purpose now will be to display BBS stuff, because I
can't find any better use for it.
By the way:
I visited several BBS's and this one is by far the best with its theming,
content and simplicity.

As for running boards, we have Medusa BBS running on a VM on a Dell R820.

I just use my my WIN 11 desktop and connect with NetRunner as my terminal.

I was working on a BBS over a decade ago on an old laptop, but I don't know

I'd really love to get a Raspberry Pi as I hear that they can be set up on one.

Smuggling A Cart In Class?

Alright, so I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I've been having the worst back pain (from scoliosis) these last few days, and my temporary remedy while I wait
for physical therapy has been the good herb, mostly in carts. I have occasionally tried smoking it before, and while
the aroma wasn't as bad as I thought, it was the stench I carried after that I had a problem with.

Meanwhile, my next semester of college is coming at lightning speed, and all of my classes are in-person. The ideal
outcome was that I would have started physical therapy before it comes around. If this isn't the case, I'll have to
keep sticking with settling the pain with anti-inflamatories and cannabis.

So let me just get straight to the question:
What are some creative ways to wind down before/during class in secret?

Comments:

By Dravenheart on Oct 30th 2024 at 3:03pm

I guess it all really depends on where you live and where it is legal. I'm
from a state where its not, but i'm surrounded by states where it is legalized.

With that being said, I've seen products online where you can discreetly hide
your cart. I believe Smyle Labs has one that you can hide in a pen and the pen
is functional as well.

Otherwise I'd consider edibles an option if you know your tolerance and how you
react under them.

By Powerham5000 on Oct 30th 2024 at 4:46pm

definitely edibles

By Tarot on Nov 4th 2024 at 1:03pm

Alright, will do. Thanks for the advice.

By Tarot on Nov 4th 2024 at 1:05pm

I would also like to clarify that I am based in California, where recreational and medical use of cannabis is legal
with a California medical cannabis card.

The Pit Upgrade From 3.6 To 4.17

I plan on upgrading The Pit from version 3.6 to 4.17. This last release
contains more features, bug fixes, and more items. I don't have a specific date
set for this and wanted to open up the floor if anyone had a preference. The
upgrade will completely reset the game, so all game progress will be lost.

I'm excited for The Pit to be upgraded as this BBS has been running 3.6 for
many years. If no one has a preference, I will probably upgrade within the next
two days.

If there is corruption in the game, yeah, let's totally reset it.

Ambroshia has been completely reset. Unfortunately, this was due to data

I looked into VGA Planets and this is a game that will not be able to run
natively on the BBS since it uses VGA graphics, not ANSI.

It sounded like there was some way to use a BBS to somehow facilitate taking
turns in the game with multiple people playing. I couldn't find any information
on how that worked.

Give Tokerz Hut a try. From what I found online, it sounds like that BBS has
VGA Planets.

Eduardo - you can play via DOSBOX and the original VGA Clients game, OR you can
play with a modern client that runs under Windows. Both work fine, but on
t0kerZ hUt most use the modern client (Planets Command Center 2). Google for
more info, or check out these two videos that show exactly what to do on t0kerZ
hUt for either option. Enjoy the game, and any issues let me know!

How To Get Arrowbridge 2 Characters

Knight - Easiest. Just get 100 courage. This can be done in random battles on
the world map or in dungeons. You get extra courage for fighting tougher
enemies starting at two levels above your own. Anything one level above or down
to level one even gives one courage. Yes, even killing locusts or bees gives
courage, so this is very easy.

Cleric - Can take some time. You need 100 alignment. This is done by spending
your turns praying or donating gold to the church. The lower your level, the
more alignment you get per gold donated. The alignment gains range from 1 to 1.
If a wild fryar approaches you, you can spend 100 gold for one alignment gain.
DO NOT ATTACK A FRYAR. You will plunge 50 alignment.

Archer - One of the more annoying ones. You have to win five jousts against
other players, which requires two things: Other players in the game (or you
making alternate accounts...) and them being not too low of a level compared to
you.

Ranger - No special requirements, but you have to either traverse a bunch of
hills/mountains or get a ship and go through the rivers, which is easier but
means you'll miss out on the ranger until later in the game.

Wizard - I have trouble with this one, I think it's to the northwest of Axbury,
the main town in the game/where you start. I also believe you'll need some sort
of ship to get there. No special requirements.

Thief - You for sure need a boat. The thief is on an island in the middle of a
lake. No special requirements to get them once you finally get there.

Tips: Thieves can be annoying and snipe XP from other party members because
they get two turns consecutively/strike twice. They can move into a position
and shoot a bow, which works well with fleeing enemies.

Another issue with this game is that XP ONLY goes to the character who got the
killing blow. So, your cleric drops three Earthquakes and then the thief shoots
down all the enemies and kills them. Your cleric doesn't get any experience,
but the thief gets it all. You can use this to your advantage, power-leveling
your newbie characters (everyone starts at Level 1, no matter what.)

You can drop a character from your party if you wish, but then you have to go
back to where you found them to recruit them again. This makes ditching the
knight easier because you'll often find yourself back in Axbury... after you
die, of course....

Hopefully this helps others play ABII and get further.

Congratulations Brrshup For Winning Extreme Lord!

Well, those TWENTY dragons are toast. Sheesh. Brrshup must have had a chip on
the shoulder because they didn't stand a chance in the bloodbath.

I will be resetting Extreme LORD right away here. I'll also increase the heroic
deeds (dragon kills) to 30. That'll extend gameplay just a bit.

Good luck all who join!

Extreme Lord Number Of Dragon Kills

What does everyone think about the current number of dragon kills in Extreme
Lord? Right now, it's set to 20. That was increased from 10 a while back.

Should we increase, decrease or let 20 dragon kills continue to be the setting?

Comments:

By James on Jul 22nd 2024 at 3:27pm

I am good with increasing to the maximum to allow for more time in the game.

By Mariposa on Jul 24th 2024 at 11:31pm

I'm not sure what increasing the number of kills will really do. It's just
going to make the amount of time before reset the current number plus the
number of dragon kills you add. Even now the current game has someone sitting
at 19 kills just not pushing the final kill.

My suggestion would be around Sandtiger's Bar. I'm not saying get rid of it
altogether, but maybe limit the number of times you can go in in a day if
that's a configurable option.

I love Extreme LORD, but it's really not competitive unless everyone knows all
the tricks or the tricks are limited.

By James on Jul 25th 2024 at 9:04am

Taking away the strategy takes away the extreme aspect of it. Either learn the
strategy or don't play the extreme version. Multiple players know how to use
the strategy so why limit it. If you can kill the dragon in one day then do it.
If multiple people know how to do it then it is a race to the finish. Upping
the dragon kills to say 99 would still make it extreme and add the element of
logging on daily to kill the dragon but it would just last longer so it doesn't
have to be reset often. I enjoy the other IGM's side games such as Lord Life
which gets reset as well. I would like to enjoy the IGM's a little longer than
20 days thats all.

Exitilus 2.05 Reset

Unfortunately, the game data in Exitilus 2.05 has become corrupted. This is a
known bug in this game and happens from time to time.

The only way to fix this is to completely reset the game. Is anyone opposed to
a reset?

Otherwise, I'll plan on resetting the game soon.

Well, that didn't last long. The data corruption bug in Exitilus 2.05 reared

I have reset the game. Hopefully it will be a while before this happens
again.

Sure, but I didn't see them just by searching for "Dr. Who"...

I suppose it isn't a great idea to post full instructions here either :)

By Alys on Jun 28th 2024 at 8:26am

Well if you're really good at using Archive.org, you can find em. Its really
all about effective use of the filters to narrow things down whenever you look
for something specific on there because they have sooo many things on any given
topic. Especially multimedia. Searching any kinda TV show or movie *that is
public domain* and you will find tons of reviews and podcasts of it, just
backed up onto Archive. Filters that have smaller numbers of results are always
good. *public domain* shows, for example, old time radio shows, can be hard to
find the FULL COLLECTION. And that is what you really want. The entire
collection of the OTR. Total views is also an important factor for finding the
"correct" media you're looking for. Whether it's a book, OTR, old af movie,
whatever. I spend a lot of time on Archive.org enjoying media that is crazy
hard to find these days, and I've become an expert at it's filtering system :)

Ugh, sorry for the trouble. Maybe it doesn't work on mobile devices?

By Damage Control on Jan 28th 2024 at 11:08pm

Yes it works on mobile. I actually voted twice. I was voter #17 from my pc.
It's the plus symbol next to the number of votes. About halfway down the left
column of that page you'll see "votes" and then some number (the tally of
votes). So I decided to try it from mobile and see if it worked. I typed in the
same url (make sure to use the www first and type the whole long address) and
the same screen came up on my phone. Halfway down is "votes" and it said 17. So
I clicked the blue plus sign next to the 17 and it turned it into 18.
Refreshing the pc, that page now says 18 votes. So yeah it works. I tried to
click the plus again on the pc but it was hip to me by then and told me only
one vote is allowed. (oops on voting from phone and pc but I was testing lol)

I've only heard the exact opposite - that the IGMs are great and fun. Several
of them have been added by request.

By Jessrond on Apr 4th 2024 at 8:14pm

I personally find most of them confusing, I like simpler ones, I'd be
interested in a semi-tournament with fewer IGMs... but I may be alone. My LORD
experience is more from Nuklear/Stabs, I was a bit young for LORD (9 in 1994)

they are Blarney Stone something like forgery, and a fishing one that isn't as

By Booch on Jan 15th 2024 at 9:42am

The prize options this time around are dungeon theme tabletop games. I own
Welcome to the Dungeon and Dungeon Mayhem. One Card Dungeon is on its way :)

Of the two I own we have enjoyed playing and each have their own unique play
mechanics.

I tend to not be a huge fan of dice games, but I'll give One Card Dungeon a
shot. I believe it's a solo game, unlike the other two. There are a couple of
other dungeon crawler solo play tabletop games I have that are fun and have
offered as prize options in the past: One Deck Dungeon and Deckbox Dungeons. Of
the two, I've really enjoyed playing Deckbox Dungeons and recommend the game to
anyone I can :)

In fact, I was so inspired from the play mechanics of Deckbox Dungeons that I
developed a small game with similar mechanics and gameplay: Ruins of Kaldore.
Check it out in the Fighter's Guild if you haven't yet!

Practical Use For Telnet In 2023?

I wonder, what is the practical use of telnet in modern time?
I mean, we can talk, we can play some text based games, but what is the practical use of this thing?
I'm asking, because i want to write a telnet based application, but i can't think of any good application of the telnet. Because most of people around me will never use it.
I just want to kow you opinion on it.

Comments:

By Doomii_Blue on Dec 31st 2023 at 8:07am

Only good use i can think of is making i a good application to connect to
bbses. You can try that with the TELNET protocol.

By Booch on Jan 2nd 2024 at 3:45pm

Good question! These days, due to its lack of encryption, most software tries
to not use telnet and SSH instead for connecting to servers. BBS software is an
exception, however all modern BBSes offer the ability to connect with SSH so
that the connection is secure. The SSH port for this BBS is 2222 if you wish to
connect using SSH instead of telnet.

By Sphere on Jan 4th 2024 at 7:53pm

There are still a few old devices that don't support SSH (or HTTPS, or other
encrypted protocols). Some 'legacy' BBS software has a telnet server but not
an SSH server, like DOS, OS/2 or Win16/early Win32 software included only
telnet, either because of computing power limitations or because that was
generally what people used. For those, you need a telnet client. Likewise, if
you want to use old DOS BBS terminal clients, the serial-to-TCP/IP adapters
(e.g., in Dosbox) for those really only support telnet out of the box. It is
possible to hack together something to use SSH with Telix under Dosbox for
example, but effectively you have to script something or telnet through your
local machine or something of that sort.

In general, though, it is recommended in this day and age to use SSH instead.
Syncterm for example supports SSH. If you use Telnet, anyone sniffing
(eavesdropping on) your packets, like your ISP or someone else on your wi-fi
network, can get your passwords and take over your session and pretend to be
you. In practice, this isn't usually a problem for BBS usage, but this is
mostly because people "don't care enough" about what you are doing to start
messing with it. If that bothers you, then SSH is probably the answer and I'd
encourage SysOps to promote use of SSH, to make BBS communications secure in
the same way as most other modern Internet communication.

Serial Connection Multiplayer

Ive found out how to get serial connection such as null modem and modem dial-up
working. Problem is, i need someone to test it from a acctuall distance to see
if it works, if you have a dial-up game like DOOM or HERETIC please be willing

IF you want to play a match againsit me send me mail and i will most likely be
able to.

I recommend connecting to fraggels servers.

ipx address: ipx.soulsphere.org 10000

its easy connection and then select a random network socket in the setup
incase another server has the same socket number.

Hello From Portugal

Hello from Portugal.
I'm totally new in the BBSes world and I'm really enjoying it.
I found this BBS in one comment from Reedit where I asked from help.

Still exploring, if you have any suggestions for other BBSes I will happy to
check them.

See you

Global War Reset

Awwww! I finally hit 80 points and reset the Global War game, and it doesn't
even say anything or have the Hall of Fame working, it just resets all the
scores to zero and doesn't say a word?

:(

That's a wee bit anticlimactic lol

Huh, that's odd. I haven't heard of issues of that before.

By Booch on Dec 12th 2023 at 10:00pm

The Hall of Fame looks like it's not working. Must be a bug in Global War.

By Sphere on Dec 13th 2023 at 9:25pm

Congrats on winning Global War, Mantis ...
... you know, I'd have been tempted to just write "I WIN GLOBAL WAR!" or
something - very humble to do it as a bug report ;)

By Mantis on Dec 14th 2023 at 7:50am

I wouldn't have posted at all but I felt a wee bit disappointed as it took a
year to hit 80 lol

Need A Small Help With Synchronet...

Well, basically... I made a small BBS for me and my friends using Synchronet.
The problem is: I don't really know how to edit the menus.

You know, the starting page... Actually, I don't know how to modify ANYTHING on
Synchronet. Does someone know how to do something?

Yes, the menu systems are in a baja file in /sbbs/exec/default.src. You can see in
there which keys have which responses, and which menu files are displayed. The menu
files are in /sbbs/text/menu.
There is a page on it here: http://wiki.synchro.net/custom:menu_files

There are also some steps around compiling thr menu file (with the baja executable) and
convincing synchronet to reload it without having to log out and back in. Let us know
how you get on!

Extreme Lord Won! Reset At Midnight And More Dragon Kills

Congratulations to Mariposa for slaying the 10 red dragons and winning Extreme
LORD!

It has been requested to increase the number of dragon kills since people are
able to use the IGMs so effectively and quickly make dragon kills.

I'll increase the number of heroic deeds (dragon kills) to 20 this time around
and see how it goes!

Good luck everyone that joins in!
