Games added at The BoycoT BBS



PTE is an interesting improvement, it helps a little on an Apple 2  but  the
games still are impossible to use, well esp. Spacer Quest.  It is hard to use
when trying to upgrade your ship. You keep getting an extra character of some
kind when you press return and hot keys do not work, you have to press enter on
choices and when you do an extra keypress is recongnized, so  that it does what
ever is the default.  This takes you back to the previous screen in may cases. 
Sometimes pressing your choice followed by a space, followed by a question mark
keeps you in the menu that you want to be in so you can be a choice.  Sometimes
you must make the choices with spaces in between for more than two ahead to get
things done.  Hot keys works on a pc, but not on an apple.  Do you have an
apple to check all this on?
 
I use Proterm 3.0 telnetting in from my isp.  I have also telnetted from a
local BBS and get the same results.  I used ansi bbs and vt-100 and pse and
each doesn't help.  Ansi BBS is best.
