Message   Divarin    All   Purely text-based BBS doors (no ansi)   July 22, 2019
 8:17 AM *  

Hi all, this isn't necessarily just for Synchronet SysOps but it seemed like
the most appropriate message board given the options.
I've been playing around with some older hardware including an Apple IIc, some
dos based PDAs and a TRS-80 model 100.
I like to try to get these things connected to BBSs but with the Apple II and 
especially the model 100 a lot of the BBS door games available
aren't really playable without ansi support, at least cursor positioning if not
color.
My board does have one that I can play over the model 100: Oregon Trail but I'd
like to open up a section filled with games that can be played on non-ansi
compliant terminal emulators.  
Text adventures seem like an obvious choice but I tried playing some under the
"Dos Games" section of Battlestar BBS and ansi was required there as well. 
I also tried a MUD and needed ansi for that as well.
I'm trying to compile a list of door games that can be played without ansi
any ideas?
