TradeWars: I'm confused.. is this a door game anymore or just a TW2k Server? Server is actively taking registrations: http://www.eisonline.com/
Legend of The Red Dragon: lord legacy stated he has ability to register.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: If he wants to be safe, all he has to do is accept the fee through Paypal as his paper trail. If the 'vendor' ever comes after him, he just prints off the invoice and sends a check (minus Paypal fees). Fact is, the amount involved per registration Vs time to fill registration orders for a 'company' that abandoned its software and customers, he could easily argue compensation for time involved taking care of THEIR customers.
Exitilus: My findings leads me to believe he is deceased (I could be wrong). Feel free to add/correct any entry. I strongly feel if the authors can be found, we have an obligation to make an effort to register.
Thanks
Before I register any door myself, I am at least trying to track the author to register the door(s). Anyone else interested, this is my

it's a server now. i'm not sure if he gives registrations for the bbs
game still.

lordlegacy is the former developer and he doesnt handle registrations.
you need to talk to gameport where they will probably ignore you.
You can get registrations for some games at bbsfiles.com. I have registered some there. Plus some of them there are free. You should check that out.

DOS Doors boring as sin, but with a few exceptions. The more interesting games I find are the ones that have been converted to .js for synchronet.

and all those odd websites?
he got cracks/code gens from people in the bbs community and sells 'vanity registrations' so please dont give him any money

I calnce and asked about getting a registration key from them and they told me to print out the form and send a check to them. I did not like
the way they acted when I talked to them plus they made it sound like
it was a bother to even have to answer the phone and talk to me.
I have heard form some that have sent money and never got a code in
return and was out the money.
Well how is someone to get registrations if they do not get them

Think I would crack, or use a code generator on one myself then to pay someone who does'nt own the rights or is'nt the author.
I'd give anything for someone to pick up and start expanding on Solomora's War

Solomora's War is not a door game I can find. Where is a link to it?

I'll bug him about it next time we chat.
I have a suspicion that if you copy the contents of one of the

I used to know how to do a few minor things in DEBUG. Wish I knew how to
do this. I have a program that actually is registered but, for some
reason, in ~ 2015 the registered features quit working. It still reports the copy as "registered," it just no longer allows any of the features.

you can vote with your wallet. the online system broke and they didnt

do they care about the 15 dollar registrations?
they have refused to make it freeware, they have refused to sell the

they still cash the checks.
so they must care.
i would just develop a free open source lord clone and then nobody would

Anyone know about these 2 door games?
I wrote that article, so yes! It only discusses one game: From Here to Eternity, but Shooter wrote another a year or two later called Freedom Train.
Shooter approached FHTE sort of like Ready Player One: it's a mishmash of different cultural properties. Freedom Train is more self-contained, with its own story and universe.
Both have elements of interactive fiction or old Sierra Online games.
I played through Freedom Train and managed to beat it last year. I really enjoyed it, though I found quite a few bugs along the way. Shooter has fixed many of those since then.
If you want to play the games, you can call his bbs (bitsunrise.com). Other BBSes (like mine, guardian.synchro.net) allow users to connect to his game server to play his games.
I interviewed Shooter in 2015 about his games. You can read that interview here: http://breakintochat.com/blog/2015/09/18/shooter-jennings-creator-of-from-here-

do they care about the 15 dollar registrations?
I don't know. Do you?
they still cash the checks.So it *CAN* be done, unless they cash the check and don't provide a registration code.

Yes, but maybe not as good an option as running a registered NEW version.

Anyone know about these 2 door games?
I prefer this one, with configurations for four other BBSs besides the point. >My other sysop readers are GoldEd for either Linux or Windows, with my Windows >preference really being SemPoint. Best of all: none require registration.
i did see in the interview that he trashed lord, which is the most popular doorgame ever created. i find that a bit ironic and short sighted.
He said that the levelling up mechanic in LORD was "a pain in the ass," and it's hard to argue with that.
Another difference is story. Freedom Train in particular is a VERY narrative game. For me personally, that made the game much more appealing. I wanted to keep discovering the next secret to see where the story was heading.

OK..... well I can't change what other people find acceptable. My question remains: What if you want a registered LORD door? What *realistic* options do you have
you should just do without or download a version that is out there with
some idiot's registration code already in it.
they still cash the checks.So it *CAN* be done, unless they cash the check and don't provide a registration code.
people had money taken but werent given codes. and that was back when
they were active.
i would just develop a free open source lord clone and then nobody
would have to register lord ever again.
I don't have the programming ability to do that. Do you?
you could pay someone to do it.
or just run an older version and use a serial.
Yes, but maybe not as good an option as running a registered NEW
version.
i'm an expert on lord and i will tell you now that there is no real
benefit to running lord after the registration scheme fix. if you run
it on dosemu, yes, there is a benefit.
btw, it was a brown noser bbser who went to gameport and told them about
how there were keygens and gameport then told preslar to change the reg scheme.
but go the open source route and if you cant program you can get together with a few guys and come up with money and pay someone.
Uh-huh. Not really too realistic, that.
what do you mean 'uh-huh'? you cant get a few other people interested in
this and get them to fork over a little money?
