+DarkLord Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I can't believe we've never given anything away for the Atari Lynx so it's time to redress that situation! This month, March 2022, the DarkForce! BBS is giving away: The game Wyvern Tales for the Atari Lynx handheld gaming system. You can check it out here: https://tinyurl.com/3tw57pjy Good luck to all of our callers and remember, you can't win if you don't call and register! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 In case anyone is not familiar with The DarkForce! BBS, simply telnet to: darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org port 1040 (it's also in my sig) Create an account if you've not already done so. Any of the legacy questions that you don't want to answer, for example, your phone number, can be filled in with "x's" or whatever. From the Main Menu, pick M for Monthly Prizes and pick option 2 to register. You'll be added to a list of entrants that will be used to randomly pick a winner at the end of the month. Hint: The more entries the greater the chance to win. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyrpgAust Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) i tried to enter the competition but kept of getting double characters on the Windows 11 Telnet app and Putty. not sure if i even successfully registered and when i entered my birthdate the Putty client kept saying no, so i couldn't confirm my birthdate either.

+DarkLord Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hey there. Sorry you had problems. SyncTerm. Get SyncTerm. It's probably one of the best Windows telnet clients. Highly recommended. Do you remember your login name? PM me and I'll try to get it setup before this months competition ends... (and even if you miss it, I'll add -1- single entry to the prize list since you weren't able to enter through no fault of your own... Thanks for calling.

There are several several 24 hrs a day/365 days a week Atari based (both 8bit and 16bit) BBS's currently operating. As I mentioned before, if you're using a Win-box, then grab SyncTerm: https://syncterm.bbsdev.net/ After you set it up, start here: http://sfhqbbs.org/ataribbslist.php https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ You can also actually still dial in to telnet BBS's via the help of a website like this: https://ramsaso.com/ DarkForce is listed there already. HTH's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
