Hi! I'm looking for examples of mainframe games.
(That is, multiplayer games that are played by the users of a shared server over ssh/telnet.)
Linux BBS games would also work, I guess. Games can be turn based or real time.
MUDs fall in to this box, as do a few games in the bsd-games package.
Whatcha got?
@ajroach42 ADVENT and Zork. Nethack.
I think there's a Linux version (or clone) of LORD out there.
Of course, the various MOO engines out there.
@drwho adventure and zork are more remotely multiplayer.
LORD will run in dosemu, but i need a BBS.
MOO engines are well and good; but I don't want to have to code up a map and npcs. If you've got one that comes prepopulated, I'd be onboard for that!
@ajroach42 If you need A BBS (as in BBS software) for Linux, I can hook you up...
Let me see what I have stashed away. I may or may not have something in a link dump someplace.
@ajroach42 This is the software I used to run until I took my 'board offline in 1998: https://github.com/virtadpt/ebbs
Note that I didn't write the software. I put it on Github because I didn't want the source code getting lost.
