If you want to make Door32 games (they'll run on Synchronet, Mystic, EleBBS,
GameSrv, and supposedly the new WWIV 5), check out OpenDoors.  It also
semi-supports WildCat 5 Winserver but has problems with carrier loss.

If you want to make Synchronet-exclusive games, check out the Synchronet XSDK,
which supports added features like inter-node messaging.

Both work very well with Borland 5.xx.  I've recently discovered that (with a
little work) you can make an exe that includes both libraries, and then use
conditional wrappers for your i/o and dropfile-related calls.  You'll take a
minor efficiency hit but that way you can support everything in a single
executable.
