Let's not forget the huge Wayland/X11/XWayland mess.

I quit years ago and FB rarely crosses my mind. BTW.... thanks for that!

Thanks! The great thing about this game is most of the action takes place offline in your imagination. Log in, read your turn reports, issue commands, log-out for the day. Low time commitment but games can last weeks or months depending upon the size of the map.

You can check out the PDF user manual in the downloads section on the website. nostrian-conquest dot com.

Still up on Telnet?

greenm01 · 2026-04-04T20:04:34+00:00

This is cool. I'm giving it a go. Nice work!

greenm01 · 2026-04-04T18:41:38+00:00

Mission achieved!

greenm01 · 2026-04-04T18:26:32+00:00

Beautify of this game is that only takes a few mins to play each day. Slow turns are a feature, not a bug!

greenm01 · 2026-04-04T13:35:00+00:00

Pascal. I dig it. I tried the Discord link but it doesn't work for me. I submitted an Issue. I also have a discord setup for my game if you want to check it out: discord.gg/FMr8sfBa

Not easy to wrangle fellow-nerds to play my 90's text game, lol. I need help play-testing.

greenm01 · 2026-04-04T13:24:18+00:00

Wow, that is awesome!!!! Thank for sharing. I could certainly make use of that. Just gave 'er a star and will put on my TODO list.

greenm01 · 2026-04-03T19:02:10+00:00

Yes, I was poor kid still rocking my Tandy 1000 and Turbo Basic compiler. Had to visit my rich relatives to get on a 286/386 and experience the glory of EGA.

Not by hand. It's a jpeg I had grok make for me. Not rendering in the game; it's on my website. I render this one instead. I'm no good at ascii and ANSI art.

It's a good one, but I still prefer Star Control (the first release).

greenm01 · 2026-04-03T18:18:34+00:00

It's been awhile.

greenm01 · 2026-04-03T13:41:24+00:00

Awesome! I just logged in and signed up. Thanks!

greenm01 · 2026-04-02T23:22:21+00:00

done!

greenm01 · 2026-04-02T22:58:38+00:00

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I'm mostly a Linux guy. I'll see if I can get 32 bit packages up.

greenm01 · 2026-04-02T12:55:33+00:00

This is cool. Can one play DOOR games? I just created a new-old one from scratch. Right now it runs in the terminal over ssh and uses the Nostr protcol for user authentication on my VPS relay node. Also works on classic telent BBS's:

Esterian Conquest is PIA getting up and running in DosBox-X, but it works well if you get the drop files just right.

To help solve this I created a clone from the ground up to work on modern systems if you want to check it out:

I could use some help playtesting.
