Guest Remo Williams Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Hey thanks! looks cool I'll have to check it out when they release it. I still play TW ever now and then have for years. As a matter of fact I host a private game via telnet.
Guest Shingen Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Hey kewl! I need a good TW game.. can u give out the telnet address???
Hector Socas Navarro Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Remo. I'd love to play a telnet TW game, but I've never played TW. How can I get started? Is there any good documentation I can read?Also is there a UNIX version of the client (it'd be nice to be able of playing at work )?Thanks![ 04-12-2001: Message edited by: Hector Socas Navarro ]
Guest Shingen Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 First off... the Trade Wars we're talking about for telnet in NOT the trade wars in the above web-page. The telnet TW is a text-based ansi multi-player space-sim/trading game. It was first released as a BBS-door program, then was upgraded to MBBS and finally telnet/WWW...but it's STILL a text only game. If you're looking for fancy graphics and effects, this isn't the game, but if you want hard-core multi-player combat/intrigue, Tradewars 2002 delivers.There are several web-pages devoted to TW. If you want to find out about the game, servers and clients, ect. try: http://www.tradewars.org & www.thestardock.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?strategy.htm That should get you started...and I hope Remo will give us that telnet address, I could use me an ISS about now!

Guest Remo Williams Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 No problem you guys can join I'll send the telnet address by email shortly.
Guest Shingen Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Remo, I tried out your telnet game. Good settings but hardly anyone's playing. Is the server always that slow? hmmm.. oh well I'm off for my commission and my ISS!
Guest Remo Williams Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 I'm having a bit of trouble with the server right now the speed should pick up. There should also be a few more new player joining us over the next few day I think. Feel free to contact me by email if you have any question or problems [email protected]
Guest Shingen Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Remo, I was wondering... what kind of server do you use for the TW client software? is it a proxy(?) server or do you own it... what's the bandwith usage/cost?Also, if you wanted more players, you might advertise your game on: nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=tw_free_servers&id=1&list
