Title: TradeWars 2002
Post by: Odonadon on January 04, 2005, 06:10:47 PM
Okay, well, I'm not sure where this belongs, but I've finally started playing TradeWars 2002 for the first time in my life (Yes, I realize it's been out for 20 years).  My god what a cool game.  I realize it's a BBS Door game, but it's massive.  I can't believe it even incorporates allignment (good/bad)!

<plug>

Yes, this is a bit of a shameless plug, but I'd promote it even if it's not mine: come join a TradeWars 2002 game @ The Moron Hut BBS

http://nyty.ath.cx/bbs

I'm new at it, and there are a couple of veterans currently engaged (game has been running since Dec 20-ish).  For all you TradeWars fans, come have a game.

</plug>

I'm still not 100% what the ultimate goal of the game is.  I'm at the point where I'm buying/selling making tons of money.  After that, I assume I need to put some enhancements into my ship and my planet - maybe colonize another planet or three.  Learning as I go :)

Any avid Trade War (any iteration) fan out there?

I use to use that BBS a few years ago. I never thought i would hear about that one again.
Played 2 or 3 different types of LORDs on it and a few other games.

Sorry just reminiscing. No Tradewars help

Hmmm, I've never heard of it before.  What's it like?

Here is a link with a bunch of info. It isn't that hard to find alot of info on BBS style games.

I seem to remember signing up for this a while back.  However, I can't remember my username/password or I'd log in and give it a go.

It wouldn't work unless it was on the same BBS.
I was signed up on this same one but i think after like 30 days of inactivity your account was erased. That might have been on another one.
I was on that BBS, ODs BBS and one other for awhile.

Ah okay.  I thought that one was the one OD had set up.  Either way, it's been well over 30 days since I logged on to one.  So, my account is probably gone if I ever had one at all on that BBS.

That is a link to my BBS  :)

I don't have IDs set to delete after a certain amount of inactivity.  Nep, that means your account is still there.  I've PM'd you your ID and password.

Izret - your BBS ID is still active as well, however your LORD account has long since been deleted.  Doesn't stop you from starting again, however.
