  • TopSoft door's reg info (BBS Crash)

    From xbit@1:105/44 to All on Saturday, May 11, 2024 06:44:10
    After review of BBSFiles on the wayback machine, i see the following: https://web.archive.org/web/20190712050225/http://bbsfiles.com/ftp/TopSoft/

    I spoke with Steve Richardson on 05/04/20 about these doors.
    He said he nor his brother has the source or keygen software.
    I have a registration file for all of these doors for: GameMaster's Realm
    Steve has given me permission to release my key files to those that ask
    Please send an email to: support@BBSFiles.com to request a key.

    Does anyone have the keyfile they can share for TopSoft games? Looking to get BBS Crash reg'ed and perhaps some others from Topsoft.

    Thanks!

    Who owns that domain now?

    ... When all else fails, refer to the destructions.

    Overall bbsfile's doug was a crooked guy who took cracks and registrations from bbs community members and charged unsuspecting sysops for keyfiles. he justified doing this so he could buy out other bbs doorgames rights. but in a lot of cases he said doing so 'cost him money' so people had to pay a vanity key.

    I find it hard to believe a relative or whoever who is watching over bbsfiles.com's domain will be handing out keys to people for free.
    it was doug rhea's side business.

    There's that archive on vert. i took those files and sat on them for over a decade when i had access to them. that's probably all we will see of bbsfile's reg codes. i doubt people who have his hardware even know where to look for the obscure stuff.

    Doug Rhea obviously had a bigger love for the rpg caming community https://www.tenkarstavern.com/2021/09/death-announcement-doug-rhea-ntrpg-con.html
