  • "TradeWars 2002" and "LORD"... MPL...

    Hello Mystic BBS community,

    I'm running Mystic BBS 1.12 A48 x64 on Windows 10 x64 and am looking for "TradeWars 2002" and "Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD)" in MPL format. It seems that these might exist, but I haven't been able to integrate them into my BBS under DOS. I guess I'm quite good with Linux but not so great with DOS! :)

    If anyone could help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Not sure where you heard this from, but I don't have any recollection either of those games being completely rewritten in MPL. I'd suggest sticking with the DOS versions.

    Hi, I run both programs on my bbs, alas Tradewars is a win32 program which runs natively on my bbs machine and L.o.r.d is a 16 bit dos program which I run under my synchropnet 32bit game server via rlogin. Both programs can stil be registered.
