I have an active Usurper (version .24) game running.

Did Exitilus/Usurper ever get patched? When I used to play that game
way back when, it was always in beta and buggy as it could be. But I
really liked the game.

Exitilus and Usurper are abandonware, unfortunately. Usurper
maintenance was picked up a while back but hasn't been touched in
years and left with a game breaking bug of user scores not working.
The BBS is running the last known version to have a functioning scores
list at [https://serionbbs.com](https://serionbbs.com). Exitilus is
also running.

I'm currently running some local tests to see if scores can be fixed
with an earlier version of the SORTPL.PAS file compiled into the
latest version.

And 'abandonware' isn't really accurate, at least not for Usurper, as
there's no legal uncertainty about it. The source code was given up
and its status is freeware now.

You're right with usurper. Even though the code hasn't been touched
for a while, doesn't mean it can't be picked up again. It's a fun
game, but one to be taken lightly. I've run through the game recently
and found there's some core problems with game that haven't been
addressed and not sure they will be.

Check my last comments on the subject of the broken score file: https:

Hopefully there's light at the end of the tunnel.
