I am hoping to set up MS-DOS 6.22 so that I can get some of those old game licenses running again! With a Telnet capable BBS such as Mystic running in DOSbox, my mobile device could allow my friends to login & play dozens of classic text-based BBS door games, from anywhere they can open a connection! Planets, The Exploration Of Space (It was an OK gameвЂ¦ Spaceship!) Land Of Devastation (I found the map display ugly & small compared to LORD 2)Д«arren Realms Elite (I was not very good at this) This game was apparently not distributed to many BBSs & appears to have disappeared into the depths of history.) When the construction/management phase of your turn was done you moved your bots & could send them across the border to explore & attack the maps of other players. You could build robots using various chassis, weapon & drive sections, each with differing capabilities. (A game with an ANSI splash screen reading вЂњTERRA FIRMAвЂќ: It featured an ANSI map of your empire, filled with mountains, rivers, hills, plains, forest, etc, upon which you built roads, walls, fisheries, mines, & factories to build robots. Global War (basically Risk, only you actually get to finish the game more often)

To this day, there are active servers and web-portals where you can login & play many of those ancient BBS door games, for free, from virtually any device! вЂњNo turns left, come back tomorrow!вЂќД®ven when TCP/IP internet made its way into my home, Telnet continued to provide new life & new player communities to my favorite games. Players with only 10-20 minutes to play per week could remain competitive with full-time gamers, simply because many of the games would kick you out after only 12-30 minutes (or less!). My PC was not always on & I moved around a lot, but my friends could log on even when I was not at home & we could wage epic battles through games that strictly limited your turns per day. I left the dinosaur running full-time, synchronizing message-board & inter-BBS game data with other BBSs overnight. My favorite BBS door games had colored text and any graphic art was delivered in вЂњ ANSIвЂќ (colored ASCII) symbols. Most of my ancient machines do not offer much graphics capability I used a variety of DOS based BBS server apps, from WWIV & RABBS to Synchronet & Mystic, as my hardware and software collection changed over time. Throughout the years, my absolute favorite games were those running on my вЂњBulletin Board SystemвЂќ, TheVariable. I would like to run the MS-DOS based Mystic BBS server, with original DOS вЂњdoorвЂќ games.

I have an MSDN copy of MS-DOS 6.22 (also available from various websites), but so far I cannot figure out how to have Magic DOSbox boot into MS-DOS instead of the FreeDOS it comes with by default.

Can anyone help me get Mystic BBS up & running on my Android device?ДЇreeDOS does not have SHARE.EXE support, so none of my BBS apps will run under a default DOSbox setup.
