Fiction Factory, by Joel Downer
Version: 1.0
Author: Joel Downer
Registration: US$15.00
Description:
Fiction Factory is a multi-user storytelling game. One user would
start a story, or choose from the pre-started stories, and the rest add
to the story as they see fit. There's no telling where the story
will end!
This game features ANSI/RIP support, password protected stories, Sysop-configurable
anonymous entries, and Sysop editing options.
Notes:
-
When you make a BBS menu entry for this game, make a double entry.
One is for the regular users, and one is for the Sysop. On a Maximus
system, your MENUS.CTL file should have something resembling the following
entries:
Xtern_DOS FF.cmd_%k
<Sysop "Fiction Factory"
Xtern_DOS FFsys.cmd_%k =Sysop "Fiction
Factory"
The FF.CMD (batch) file is the one that comes with the distribution
package, while the FFSYS.CMD file is a copy of FF.CMD, but with the /EDIT
switch added to the FICTFACT.EXE command line.
What does this do? It allows the Sysop access to story renaming
and deletion functions, while regular users just get the regular door.
Iron Ox, by Joel Downer
Version: 3.0*
Author: Joel Downer
Registration: US$20.00
Description:
Iron Ox is a planetary conquest game, combining elements of Sid Meier's
Civilization
with multiple human players in a real-time environment. The goal
is to survive, and to do so you'll need land, money, and power.
The storyline is as follows: You are a convicted felon who has
chosen to be deported to a colonial planet. When you get there, you
have to use your wits to build your empire.
Of course, everyone else wants to get in on the action. It's
up to everyone to help each other out, or fight to the finish.
This game features ANSI/RIP graphics, a well-developed atmosphere,
real time multinode play, and inter-BBS game support.
Notes:
- Version 3.10 of Iron Ox has been released for DOS and Win95.
