Holy crap, a registered version of The Pit. Someone remade it after
the original author died.

This is the original, and it's great to play.  If you're using
Syncterm, make sure you set the baud rate to 19200 or less, or you
won't see what's going on.

This is awesome. Played the hell out of it in 1990 or so and could
never find a registered version that let you go above level 8 or
something. I assumed by the copyright notice that it was cracked or
remade in 2004.

bbsfiles.com is giving out vanity keys he made with a crack/kegen  he
got from someone.

lunduke has the pit v 3.6 registered,  i have version 4.05 by james
berry registered.

i dont know whats up with the older version # by 'assist'   and why
their version number is lower than james berry's version.

btw, a.s.s.i.s.t is bbsfile's doug rhea's company. lunduke's version
of the pit is branded with assist and bbsfiles info

Sweet! Any chance of Operation Overkill or Murder Motel?

I can't speak for Mr. Lunduke, but he seems like a nice enough guy.
Perhaps if you sent him a request.

edit:  Wildcat's Castle has Murder Motel.  Telnet to
bbs.wildcatcastle.com.

Pretty nice. Just set up an account and joined a TW game for the first
time in years. Are you going to get a tournament game running too? I
played the one game that's open but 250 turns only takes a few minutes
to use up. In any case, thanks!
