So what is the Game features for

Atmosphere! This was a jam game and I ran out of time before I could put in a fraction of the things I wanted.

This was fun

how do i export dialer.com to a Virtual Machine on Virtualbox

i use a real dos machine

Hi, is it ok to distribute this game on the DOS Game Jam Demo Disc? It will be a freely downloadable ISO image with games submitted to the DOS Game Jam with a small menu to select games.

I see that the source is available, but didn't find a license, so thought it might be better to ask :)

Feel free! Though it will probably play a little strangely from a menu, since the full experience requires you to launch different programs from the command line.

My other DOS jam game Neut Tower is also totally OK to distribute.

I thought this was a website, (and I know what is html)

Love this idea. Gonna check it out in the ao486 core on my MiSTer 

My wife called up the stairs, “Is that a modem? Don’t forget *70, we have call waiting!”

Hahaha, maybe I'll put that in as an option in a future release

I have literally wanted to do something like this for so long, although my project became a simulated google drive rather than a simulated bbs :D

Is there any way to get registered and access the rest of the games/files etc?

(1 edit)

No, sorry! Ran out of time to get any of that stuff going for the jam. Hoping to expand on the project in the future, but it'll probably be a while before there are any significant updates.

No worries, it's super cool as it is :D

This was fun! I hope you add more - looking forward to more doorgames, warez, messageboards. By the way, i couldn’t figure out a way to escape out of the forth interpreter and had to force shut down my machine :/ Any tips, or even a wordlist printout command would be helpful :)

Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that! It was more of a last minute "wouldn't it be cool to put one of the tools I wrote to make the game into the game" idea to pad out the file list than something I expected people to actually try and use, but of course if it's there you'll at least run it. I wanted to include the full source code but I ran out of time to write a self-extracting .com to wrap it all in. Ctrl-Z is usually how I quit when I'm running interactively, though I think Ctrl-C and "terminate" should also work.
