If it is a TEXT Game he told me today He isn't interested in the 100 or so TEXT Games on Mikes Capitol City BBS. He doesn't like Text Games. AA>>Many BBSes have fine DOOR GAMES. Would that fit the bill? EV>He isn't a BBS User. AA> Sounds like he has a limited understanding of BBSes. Games on BBSes AA> are traditional, blocky, ascii, etc.. types. Some are based on AA> animations, some are AA> text-based like RPG's. But many are implemented quite nicely. Yes, he isn't interested in the Technical part or wanting to become a BBS User, he just wants to play GOOD GAMES On-Line. He told me today he plays Pool On-Line and won TWO sessions of Pool of the many he played today. I told him to Email the Link to that Game page so I could look at it. Before he got the Chromebook he has used Ubuntu, Win3.1 and Win95, then he got a X-Box system and loved to play Madden Football and a Car Racetrack game called Frouza (?). He has had the X-Box, X-Box360 and a X-Box One and wishes he could play X-Box games on his Chromebook. EV>Years ago when This BBS (CCO) could be Dial'd-Up I gave him the EV>phone number of the Prism BBS he could get on using Dial-Up. EV>He used it for a while and didn't continue calling it. That may EV>have been because Janis moved away from this area. AA> Today, we access BBSes via Telnet. I tried Telnet and talked to Mike about my difficulties with it and Mike told me about a web site I could go to that would grab the packet for me and send it to me via FTP. I used that method for a long time and then got a BRIGHT IDEA to make my own FTP Script(s) to GET and PUT .QWK Packets to his BBS. I run the Script with a .BAT file from a CMD Prompt.
