I haven't found a better thread to post this in, so I'm posting it here for now.
If you are retro enough to remember:
- TradeWars 2002 the BBS door game
- Star Control II
This post might appeal to you.
Me and a friend put together a graphical mod for the TradeWars2002 BBS game that converts all spaceships to Star Control II versions, it changes the game dynamics to accommodate the changes and makes other modifications, it modifies other game graphics and elements, and basically gives you a new gaming experience.
We already have 4 sysops running our mod, even though this was only released yesterday. We also got the blessing of the TradeWars creator, who is still around. All around a fun project to have been a part of!
To see the rest of the art in the mod or to download it: visit the

The INFOFILE contains easy to follow instructions on how to install the mod, if you happen to actually run a BBS of your own and want to install this.. or if you know a sysop who runs a BBS. which is probably not going to be the case, but you never know
