Dude - I finally got thru [ALMOST!] all 20 levels of SkyRaiders; the freaking bad-assest door game I've seen in 25 years. aNACHRONIST, of aBSINTHE BBS is still developing door games in 2023. He has two that
he's currently w0rking on; SkullHack [A NetHack port] and SkyRaiders [A Korean War door]. I personally think that SkyRaiders is the best
freaking door that we've EVER SEEN... while a lot of folks have played,
I think it deserves the eyes of MANY M0RE!
At any rate - its super in-depth; you can use Ace Feats [the reward/purchasing system] to better your chances as you go thru all the levels - and theres so many ways to play... you can level-up your air-strikes, or focus on ground... but no matter what, after you get
past level 11 you'll be rethinking those choices. :P
I hope that you'll check it out, but if you need to be pressed a little m0re before doing so I've just released a FULL LENGTH play-through
video on YouTube. :P I've been w0rking on a YouTube channel named TechHeart; I would love it if you'd give me a SUB and even m0re if you watch a few videos... at any rate, if you wanna see my SkyRaiders
content, its available below.
Last; login to aBSINTHE - the BBS is my favorite board of all time, and the w0rk that aNACHRONIST gives to our hobby is BAR NONE. Its freaking amazing. SkullHack is a door that doesn't take as much time, and is just as freaking amazing... please try b0th, or yer missing out!!

Thanks for making a video I can distract myself at work with!

These doors sound great but what do you need to run them? So far, I can only manage to run MPL games. I have a Windows 64.bit board running
Mystic BBS software. And drop files still confuse the heck out of me.

That is a sharp looking board. I wish I had the time and energy to
produce a BBS like that. Hey, you did a great job of advert'ing it.
Word - SkyRaiders has come so far that I hope anyone interested in bbSes gets a chance to play for a while. The episodes get awesome after the first ground mission.
Cheers!

You can only play Skyraiders at aBSINTHE bbs - it is a creation
of aNACHRONIST and is very flipping polished. While its not
available for other sysops to run, aBSINTHE is a bbs you should
check out regardless - its badass. While yer there, give
Skyraiders [and Skullhack!] a play; you'll be happy you did.

I've been trying to connect since yesterday, but it doesn't answer.

Anachronist has these running on his BBS exclusively, they aren't
released to the public.
Watched the whole video yesterday. Really well done. will hopefully
find the time today to browse the rest of your stuff. I also see that
the new Mod Archive dropped from last year so I will be converting that over soon :D

You know, the funniest thing - aBSINTHE has never had connection
issues, but since I did that recording [and even during it!] he's been being either attacked by 'DDOS', or he thought maybe his radio station that he broadcasts over the same network was impacting the board.

He said on Discord he is getting slammed hard by DDOS attacks
from China and Russia.. Not sure if he has gotten the system
fixed up from it yet..

Either way, aBSINTHE has been the most stable board for years -
and I think these hiccups ARE temporary. I know that aNST checks
it daily and isn't st0ked of the downtime; give it another sh0t.
So it wasn't just me unable to connect.
I was wondering if it wasn't the old "Slashdot Effect". :O
Yes, it is back up now, just connected a few minutes ago and made an account. First Amiga board I've tried... as you said it really is quite impressive. I had no idea an Amiga was that... cool.
Thanks for posting about it. I did watch parts of the video you made, very nice and thanks for that too.

Yep; as posted before, aNST thinks he 'fixed' the connection
issue - we'll see how the next few days go. :P
Appreciate the kind words; I'm working on getting my videos
shorter and m0re to the point.
Woah!! Gamgee posts a nice message? OMG.

LOL, it's not the first time! (nor the last!) ;-)

aNST changed the system IP and thinks ppl will have better luck trying
to connect from now on out; give it another sh0t, its worth it.
I was told tonight, too, that a new version of SkyRaiders - with a few suggestions from my video - went live. I gotta get by there to play a
bit m0re!!!
