Found my uncles take on Tradewars and think it was shared on other BBS's reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- angryblackman2100 · 2018-02-25 15:42 I know this is a weird question to ask. But probably not, has anyone ever discovered a game that no one else has seen before? Or was declared lost? I'm asking cause my uncle was a huge fan of trade wars and made his own version of it but with buying and selling stocks. He wrote it in ibm Basic and I found the source code in his notebook with a bunch of BBS numbers. So I was curious if anyone's ever discovered something like this before and if anyone knows where I can post said game? Would be great. I hope it's alright to post this here. I will reply with photos if that's alright? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- angryblackman2100 · 2018-02-25 15:46 [Galactic Merchant Page with pics](https://t.co/9PQBFRfpn9) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoModerator · 2018-02-25 15:46 This comment was auto-moderated since it was just a link with no text. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I recommend sending it along to Jason Scott at http://www.textfiles.com/ He is a games historian/archivist and has done a ton of work to preserve and distribute rare stuff like this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- angryblackman2100 · 2018-02-25 17:45 I wrote to him on twitter as I'm on my phone. I sent him the details and the link to download Galactic Merchant. It's been a busy couple of days. Looking at a monitor and whatnot. But I'm glad it's over. So now I can relax.

Only one person ever bought it. I can't even remember what I called it. You just had to shoot ANSI deer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- angryblackman2100 · 2018-02-26 13:36 That sounds like an awesome game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2018-03-01 16:30 You're very welcome! Many thanks to /u/kirkman14 as well! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2018-03-09 14:42 Was just thinking - have you contacted the folks at either DoorParty or BBSlink about adding it to their game servers? http://wiki.throwbackbbs.com/doku.php http://bbslink.net/contact.php
