|    Little Shop of Horrors for C*Base BBS    |

      From: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com              Dear all,              The C*Base BBS software for the C64 supported add-on modules (commonly       called "doors" on DOS BBSes). One such module was a multiplayer game       called Little Shop of Horrors. Like the stage and film musicals of the       same name, the game featured a man-eating plant; the player's job was to       grow his or her plant by providing it with sufficient amounts of meat       and blood. Players would log into the game once per day to feed their       plants, and could interact (albeit not in real time) with other players,       such as by sending their plant to attack those owned by other players.              The game was lots of fun and had fantastic full-colour, full-screen       PETSCII graphics.              Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any information on the Web about       this game. Can anyone help by identifying the author, or maybe finding a       copy of the game itself? I believe it was freely distributable, at least       to C*Base licensees, so there might not be any copyright issues in       posting it on the Web. (C*Base itself has since been released under the       terms of the GNU General Public License, so anyone is free to obtain a       copy.)              Regards,       Tristan              --       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-        Tristan Miller       Free Software developer, ferret herder, logologist        https://logological.org/       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
