  • synchronet arcade games,

    From MRO@VERT/BBSESINF to All on Friday, July 24, 2026 20:49:00
    Have you guys checked out vert and seen all the games synchornet
    Can now launch?

    It's pretty cool stuff. I never thought i'd be able to run maniac mansion, the Real game on a bbs.

    i had some issues with some of them but i also didn't update my syncterm so That might be it.

    Check it out if you haven't.

    And Maniac Mansion is the *worst* of the ScummVM games I have online!

    What version were you running? If it wasn't v1.10a (a recent build at that), you're really missing out.

    I'm still on 1.7.
    For my regular usage i have a much older one.
    I just prefer the look.

    I don't like the gdi mode. It's larger and i don't like the mode.
    I also don't like logging onto other bbses and the font changes.

    I think you're saying you prefer Win32 Console output mode. It's still available as an option (both config and via command-line parameter) in all versions of SyncTERM.

    Yeah i figured it was a switch just like there's a switch for scfg.
    I just run the older 'lite' version and use the newer one when i check out Other people's new stuff like the games and watching youtube ansi.

    Doesn't MRO realize that 95% of the people here have twitlisted him?
    then there is the 4% that just ignore him, 1% what's left.
