Default Q-friendly version of TradeWars 2002?

A LONG time ago I used to play the popular BBS portal game, TradeWars. I was wondering if anyone knew of a Q-friendly web version anywhere.

Wow... when I saw this thread I thought it was 1986 again and FIDONET and Wildcat BBS were the greatest things since slicebread!

You could always use a telnet client on your Q and telnet into a BBS that supports it. Other than that... I haven't seen any of the old BBS games supported on mobile devices (BRE or LoRD would be great as well!)

@Suture, if you can run DOS on the Q and can find TW, you might be able to run it in an offline/local/test mode..

So what you're saying is that I should revive my WC! board? ;)

I've been wanting to do that for a long time now.. I've got my old BBS archived, and even bought the upgrade package to go from WC!4 to WINS.. just can't seem to find the time to go through the reconfiguration for the 100+ doors..

I say do it!!! I played TW, BRE, and LOrD my last few years of college off a free board someone was running out of a door-room. Nothing like nostalgia!

Wow...

I used to run one of the largest BBS's on the west coast and Tradewars was one of the games I had on that PCBoard system - really takes me back!

lol @ the responses -- I tore a tendon in my foot this weekend and am practically glued to the bed since anytime I move it hurts like a $*#@. For some reason I started thinking about Privateer-like games, and then TW2002 popped into my head. Man, I loved playing that game. I used to play in tournaments on local BBSes, and then when I stood up a BBS I hosted it there as well.

I think this will be my project, figure out how to get it running.
