i tossed up a server because someone mentioned it in a thread. if anyone is interested in a little nostalgia…
telnet://tw.catsweat.com
only 5 user license, but if theres enough interest i can increase it
I registered and created WEYLAND-YEETANI CORP. I’m a noob, so go easy if anyone encounters me.
I may partake later tonight. Thanks!
Holy crap. Haven’t thought about that game in forever! Nice!
i banged it at max sector count (30k) and max turns, and i think i increased the initial credits to 10k
If there’s interest from othersin actively playing, might be nice to find an IRC channel to lurk in for general game discussion and hangout.
Alright I was a bit too young to play anything like this at it’s peak, but I am interested. Do I understand it correctly that the way to play this would on a windows machine in cmd? Quickly tried alacritty and kitty terminals (linux) and I don’t think some of the stuff looks correct
EDIT:
Get
syncterm, then just dosyncterm telnet://tw.catsweat.comThis how the game entering should look like (it didnt look like this at all for me in any of the above term emus)
its a telnet server, essentially. so any telnet client should work ok…
ubuntu has it built in ctrl+alt+t ‘telnet tw.catsweat.com’
for windows i think swath used to be the hot client… not sure about other windows telnet clients
There is a putty Telnet client and also a role in Windows system you can add for a Telnet client baked into the cli
I twlnetted in yesterday, but I realize ansi support really isn’t thing on Mac OS.
Anyone have a good terminal recommendation for macos?
Try if you can get syncterm on macos
