    Hallo Richard,

    I'm looking for a place to get some BBS door games like Trade wars 2002, and some of the other popular games.

    I found a great number of door games here:

    http://bbsfiles.com/main.html

    The good thing there is that most games contain a free registration key.
    Only if you want your name in the key you have to pay ~5$.

    Regards,

    Telnet over ... I have 135 shareware CD-ROMs ONLINE (over 80 gig), and I have a ton of doors in the reg. file bases as well. Search away.

    ttb.rgbbs.info

    ... Total is $1000. $10 for the upgrade, and $990 s/h.

    Richard,

    I'm looking for a place to get some BBS door games like Trade wars
    2002, and some of the other popular games.

    There may be several sites around, but the problems are that most of
    the legacy games will work on 32-bit systems only, or with a special
    utility. But more so, most are now abandonware, and unregisterable.

    The good thing there is that most games contain a free registration
    key. Only if you want your name in the key you have to pay ~5$.

    I've registered several doors off of there...and $5 is a fraction of
    what most of the original doors cost.

    Doug Rhea, who runs the site, has been dealing with cancer for quite awhile...so folks wanting stuff shouldn't delay in registering it.

    Just a note, not sure if you know or not but FidoNet is real names. Please toggle this all fidonet echos. I'm sure policy is lacked over the last few years, but someone is gonna say something on one of these echos sooner or later (and not me <G>).

    That's not global. It's traditional to use real names in most fidonet areas and in some cases it's a rule but not always.

    There is no real name rule in any of my echoes.

    That doesn't mean real names are not allowed, it just means you are free to use an alias if you choose.

    Made the change in Renegade under the W flag and turned on the R. Looks like I need to update my account here.
