Are there any good, active tw2002 games? I'd love to get back into it.

For what it's worth, there is a old phone app called "Space Trader"
worth looking at.   Similar to TW2002 but much less developed and
played as a stand alone game.   Scratches that itch for entertainment
and nostalgia.

I'd actually love to see a revival of this somewhere.  I also used to
love playing Solar Realms Elite.

Finally watched this today and feel like I know how to play tradewars
for the first time. What a game! Thanks for putting this together!

I'd love to watch so etching like this for all the bre/Fe/fh games out
there, if you're interested and know your way around them haha.

Also, ultimate universe. These games are expansive...very cool.

I found a site where I can play for a bit but the turn limit drives me
crazy!

Ahhh, the turn limit is great, in my opinion. The game was meant to
bring people back to the BBS daily, as well as not stay online so long
as to hog up the phone line for the next caller. So it makes the game
become part of your daily routine, you log in, play your turns. Always
making sure to strategically plan where you'll be when you run out. :)
