DemiGoth BBS is a telnet BBS that started as a nostalgia-fueled
project back at the start of the COVID lockdowns. It is dedicated to
the classic door games from the dial-up ages, to include popular
titles like Tradewars, LORD, and BRE.

The Tradewars 2002 Game A has been restarted. It is still optimized
for the classic nostalgia feel of dialing into a local BBS and playing
your turns once a day. Most settings are at the default so you don't
need a TW helper/scripting program to be competitive.

I haven't played tradewars since the early 90s, I'd like to give it a
try. What do I need to login via my android galaxy phone?

I've never done it from my phone...but you should be able to connect
from any telnet client. I just glanced at the android store and it
looks like there are quite a few options, I just can't speak to which
is best.

I've never found an android client that handled bbs ansi correctly
unfortunately.

ftelnet.ca runs great on a phone, but the bbs operator needs to set it
up.

[Here](https://embed-v2.ftelnet.ca/) is where you want to go. It'll
make a code snippet that you can put on a basic webpage server and
boom, all mobile phone users will be happy. For your board I just put
in demigoth.com and changed the proxy to Washington.

I'm awaiting approval now.

Thanks, I grabbed this for my own bbs. Just waiting on the accesslist
for the proxy.
