    Hi,

    thank you for the pointers.

    I'm looking through the lists of available door games and try some.

    I thought you'd have some more experience with "simple" games :)

    Regards,
    Anna

    Actually, I am not much into games, unless we include playing head games with my cat :) But, ya, if you're running Linux don't expect to get TW2002 working under dosemu too easily, if at all. So, like I said, game choices are relative, for instance, I am a long haul truck driver by trade so I like playing Super Rig. I also play TW2002, Global War, LORD Quest for Nora, etc.

    You're right, I am a simple person with simple interests and a diminutive way of doing things :)

    With "you" I did not mean you personally, but "you" as "you all here in the forum" :)

    I'm currently looking through the games in sbbs/xtrn and am also working through some BBS door game collections on the web...

    By the way: Is "The Broken Bubble BBS" still online? The global highscore server configured in some /sbbs/xtrn doors does not seem to be available...?

    Thank you!

    mcmlxxix's system (bbs.thebrokenbubble.com) seems to be up and down a lot lately. He's still around, but not as attentive to his BBS. :-(

    Depending on which game it is, you can try pointing to bbs.electronicchicken.com instead, ec might be hosting those same games.

    Okay, thanks for the info.

    I tried that, but there are still some that echicken does not host :)
    I've set up my own JSON service locally for those.

    Thank you!

    I have a bunch of doors I made or ported available on https://SynchronetBBS.org /index.php/downloads. Most are not found in other door game servers :)
