Old-School Tradewars 2 game has been fixed & rebanged. Also, multi-player Tetris is working.

TradeWars Game Server is finally back online after a long time away. Game A has been Rebanged. It's a simple 1000 sector game with lots of turns, good starting credit and no Ferengi. (so a nice beginner game).

Sorry for the downtime for a few days last week. Looks like one of the logs files ran out of control and took over the box. :) Should be OK now. If anyone notices any other issues please let me know.

FYI, the BBS and Tradewars game server will be down sometime tomorrow afternoon for a couple of hours. We're moving to newer hardware.

Got bored tonight. Rigged up the Original Spitfire! FleetHQ BBS image from 1992 on an actual Tandy 1000HX. Did have to do some finagling in order to make it work on a modern monitor. So the boards you see are a 16bit VGA card (forced into 8bit mode) and a Serial port card (using the original 2400bps Tandy modem would've been a waste of time). 640k of RAM, MS-DOS 2.11 (in ROM). Spitfire and message boards on a 720k Floppy.

FYI for those who want to use their own clients to connect to stuff, the BBS can be found via SSH or Telnet at: bbs.fleethq.org (make sure to use a client capable of Codepage 437 ANSI like SyncTerm). The FleetHQ Tradewars Game Server can be found via telnet at: tradewars.fleethq.org (Swath & Kokua work as TW2000 clients for that in addition to regular term apps)

OK gotta ask... a couple dozen people checked the page out... another dozen liked it.. yet noone's logged into the app. :) Just wondering why? :) (ie: does it not work?, are you mobile and can't see it?, don't like the auth dialog?) Anyway want to make sure there aren't any problems that need fixing.

I should also have a mobile version of the app ready soon. It's there now, but needs some cleaning up.

07/15/2012

Oh and we have a TradeWars Game Server running as well. You can access it from the FleetHQ BBS App link under the banner here. It's completely independent of the BBS, and can run a pile of different games with upto 100 users online at once. :)

So if you're wandering in here, please make sure to like this page! We need 30 likes to make sure we can keep our name. :) Plus, when you get to the BBS app itself (click the link on the right just under our timeline banner) make sure you like that too. :)
