Tele Arena reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SSG11B · 2019-05-22 00:17 Greetings, just joined this subreddit. back in the late 80's/early 90's I used to play Tele arena on my local BBS in Lompoc California (The Granola board) Anyway, I understand that's not important, but my question is. Is their an active Tele Arena server with plenty of active players? ​ EDIT: Found a server, few active players. (5) [http://www.mudportal.com/play?host=tdod.org&port=3000](http://www.m udportal.com/play?host=tdod.org&port=3000) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anras · 2019-05-22 00:48 Ha I remember that one, but I played a game called Tele-Mage more, also for Worldgroup BBSes. No one I know seems to remember it. Basically it was a tiny bit inspired about Magic the Gathering in that the two players were wizards trying to reduce the opponent's life points to 0. You'd cast spells to blast the opponent, put up a shield etc. and each was executed by typing the appropriate command. (something like "cast blast" or what have you - I don't actually remember the spell names). Each one took a specific number of seconds to resolve, so if you casted blast it might take 3 seconds to hurt the opponent and shield might take 5. It took quick thinking and typing (most of us used macros in our terminal client) and timing. Had a lot of fun with that one. Sorry for not answering your question and ranting. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tele-arena · 2019-05-22 20:07 I try to keep a list of active systems with Tele-Arena on my site: https://tele-arena.tumblr.com/ Interest seems to wax and wane so I'm not sure which system has the highest user population right now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SSG11B · 2019-05-22 20:23 this was one of the links from my first search, I saw color ASCII and figured was an old link.... like geocities page. lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Krometheus · 2019-06-07 18:16 Wow, what a blast from the past....I played that a lot in the mid 90's..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Magai · 2019-06-30 10:50 OMG I have been thinking about this game forever, and been searching for it's name for what seems forever! Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anras · 2019-06-30 21:11 Oh wow, someone else who actually remembers the game. :) Now we just need to find a BBS that runs it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jcd748 · 2022-06-05 20:08 Hey, I just wanted to say - your site is incredible and it's helped me get back into a game I haven't played in 27 years. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-08-24 20:20 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IncompletePete79 · 2022-08-24 20:23 I'm an active player!
