Back in the early 90s, my buddy Bill Reamy wrote his first and only door
for my BBS. Like most of the code Bill ever wrote, it was awesome and different.

Here was a platform shooter that used nothing but ANSI and stick
figures. It didn't take the world by storm, but I and many others
thought it was very cool.

Sadly, Bill has recently passed away.

For anyone interested, I've put up a webpage for Stickman as a memorial
to my friend:

https://www.ipingthereforeiam.com/bbs/stickman/

Included are some screens as well as instructions for installing under Synchronet and 64-bit Windows using Dosbox-X.

There's also info for those wishing to request a branded registered
version.

Oh, I'm truly sorry for this loss.

I saw the preview gifs on the page and they are really cool.

Unfortunately I don't have syncronet, but I plan to make the door work locally anyway. Really great work, thanks so much to the late Bill and you for introducing us to the game.

Ciao.

Installing under a 32-bit is easy following the DOC file in the
shareware archive.

Adapting the instructions for Synchronet under a 64-bit Windows to other
BBSes shouldn't be too hard either.

We have several reports of success with dosemu under Linux as well.

I had not heard of this door until recently. Gave it a try and it
REALLY IS a nice door game. Different than most that I've seen, and I'm
happy to have it installed now on my BBS. Very easy to set up on
Synchronet running under Linux (using dosemu).

There's also info for those wishing to request a branded
registered version.

I also did this and was very impressed with the speed at which my
registered version arrived. Thank you, Glenn, for showing this door and
being so willing to promote and register it. Greatly appreciated!

Yes, it works fine with dosemu.

Thank you.

This Door game will work under practically any bbs supporting door.sys or dorinfo#.def drop files! It doesn't require sychronet.

After you and your users master the shareware levels, send an email to sysop@ipingthereforeiam.com to request a branded registered version.
Please include your name/handle, your BBS's name, and the address and
port of your BBS. It would also be nice if you made a small donation to
your local ASPCA or other animal welfare group in Bill Reamy's name.
