I'll start, dialing in from Burlington, Ontario!

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.

I visited several BBS's and this one is by far the best with its theming,

I've only just joined the BBS after recenlty digging out my RS232 wifi modem.
The system I'm using to connect up with, is an Amstrad PPC512 running dos 5.0
from floppy disk, it has no hard drive, so everything is run of disk. In my
case, I swapped out one of it's two 720kb floppy drives with a Gotek floppy
emulator. It makes life way easier, especially when it comes to transferring
files to and from a modern computer. The only issue I have, is the display is
damn awefull, google Amstrad PPC512 and you will see what I mean. Mine has a
backlite, but even still its not great

By Mistermoo on Dec 18th 2024 at 5:52pm

I connect from a Mac or iPad using a program called Muffinterm. If you have one
of these devices, I highly recommend it. Pretty intuitive and does a good job
of emulating/imitating an authentic DOS-looking environment, and you also have
options to switch to VIC styles and others.

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.

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 :)

By Graehaus on Dec 7th 2024 at 4:11pm

I enjoy 8/16 bit gaming, many NES and SNES, a little Genesis ( we were a
Nintendo home), I go backto the Atari 2600 as well, I loved having a C64 system
as well.

By Powerham5000 on Dec 10th 2024 at 8:16pm

We were not allowed to have Nintendo, but my dad was in tech so we had a 386
and a 28.8k dialup back in '92. So I grew up on Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of
Destiny, all the Commander Keen games, Doom, Doom 2, and of course LORD. Then
we got a Pentium and that unlocked Hexen, Quake, Quake 2, Duke Nukem 3D, etc.
Lots of other weird games in between that I can remember. Weirdly I've never
really gone back to any of these titles in my adulthood, except LORD of course.
I also played a ton of SNES games on emulators back in the early 2000s, but
never really since.

I'm gonna get back into playing them just so I can show my 3 year old when the
time comes. Thinking I'll start her off with Mario Brothers on the NE

By Mistermoo on Dec 18th 2024 at 5:40pm

Bigtime retro game fan here. I like to split my gaming time and attention
between newer games and retro ones. Currently on a kick of playing Dead Space 1
and comparing the remake to the original. It's a mixed bag. I think I overall
like the look of the original DS1 better than the remake but there's no doubt
that the new game is technically accomplished and faithful to the original. And
yet the remake gives Isaac full voice lines instead of being a silent
protagonist, and that's a huge improvement.

I'm a little sheepish to define the 2008 Dead Space game as "retro." I know
that's not quite what we mean here. Other retro plays for me this year include
Metal Gear Solid (PS1), The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GBC), Super
Metroid (SNES), Silent Hill 2 (PS2), Sonic Adventure (DC), Ico (PS2), Quake II
(PC), Clock Tower 3 (PS2), Legaia 2: Duel Saga (PS2), and Crash Bandicoot (PS1)
That list is ordered by how much I liked each one, from most to least.

Booch really got me with that mention of Raptor: Call of the Shadows. That was
such a great shareware game. Played it when I was a kid and I just remember how
much I was able to get locked into it and fall into a groove. You'd think I'd
have become a big fan of shoot-'em-ups but I never really did.

Good topic, nice to rant on and check in with people on it.

Oracle Weather Forecast

I happened to notice that the current weather / weather forecast ability with
the Oracle was broken. I ended up rebuilding the API side of things from
scratch and changing weather forecasting services.

Now it's working again!

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.

Exitilus 2.05 Reset?

I left a comment on the graffiti wall in game, but wanted to mention it here,
too. Does everyone want to reset Exitilus 2.05, with the amount of corruption
it has gotten to? Or do folks want to carry on as is?

Comments:

By Booch on Oct 21st 2024 at 10:24pm

If there is corruption in the game, yeah, let's totally reset it.
Unfortunately, this version of Exlitilus suffers from a critical bug that can
rear its ugly head from time to time corrupting data.

Let me know any thoughts. Otherwise, I will reset soon to fix the corruption
problem.

Ambroshia Reset. Good Luck To Everyone That Joins!

Ambroshia has been completely reset. Unfortunately, this was due to data
corruption, causing nightly maintenance to fail to run. The reset has fixed
this.

Ambroshia is most similar to Exitilus with owning property or a kingdom and
building on that by fighting monsters, earning gold, upgrading weapons, armor,
properties, armies, etc.

goodluck getting your BBS up!

By Booch on Aug 12th 2024 at 4:44pm

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.

I will be resetting Extreme LORD right away here. I'll also increase the heroic

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.

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 :)

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)

any chance at making a middle ground LORD? Like only a few IGMs (like stabs)
not all those weird ones that make the game annoying AF?

By Booch on Apr 4th 2024 at 8:39am

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)

By Booch on Apr 5th 2024 at 8:05am

Is there a favorite IGM you would like to see?

By Jessrond on Apr 5th 2024 at 12:09pm

I enjoyed the fishing one in stabs game 3 and also the one where you became a
blacksmith/armorer

Sounds fun! What are the names of the IGMs? I can check them out.

By Jessrond on Apr 16th 2024 at 10:49am

they are Blarney Stone something like forgery, and a fishing one that isn't as
fun. Some of them want to be reigstered, so they may be long gone or old
relics of BBS days.

Extreme Lord Won! Congratulations Mariposa! Reset Midnight.

Wow, TWENTY dragons. TWENTY. Mariposa has this dragon killing business dialed
in, swiftly dropping one after another. Congratulations!

Extreme LORD will be reset at midnight, so Feb 4th we can start in on another
brood of 20 dragons terrorizing the town again.

Good luck everyone that joins! Extreme has more forest fights and a select
group of IGMs available that can really help with boosting stats.
