Game Connection Addon

[Zorix]

Does anyone know of the status of the Game Connection Addon? Has it been released or still being sold? I have recently tested an interesting setup for major bbs in which I connected it to my private voip network. It surprisingly works perfectly. But I remembered years ago the ability to play games such as Doom/Duke3D over a system running majorbbs. I am interested in seeing this work over my setup now. I know its not optimal or useful these days but I enjoy making things just work. Thanks guys!

Game Connection is the only product still owned by Sirius Software (ISV code SIR). The rest of their line was sold to Dialsoft. Sirius can't sell Game Connection's rights because a lot of the code is used in other non Galacticomm products from the company.

What version of the BBS did you try it on?

[Zorix]

I was not the Sysop of any of those BBS's that ran it. As I was really young I cannot remember the version either. I didn't even know then name of the addon until I did some searching. Does Sirius still sell this product on their own? Obviously since this is just a proof of concept sort of thing I wouldnt pay $1000 for it but I would consider any reasonably cost. Thanks.

I'll ask them and get back to you.

i got some epic megagames codes, jill of the jungle?
hmm hocus pocus ill have to check.

most the dos apogee stuff was built using borland c++ 3.1 with the vga graphics library and some added OBJ files.
some of the later commander keens were build using bc 4.0
the original commander keen was written in basic using the cga libraries.

i say borland 3.1 but you can actually do it with 3.0 with the ID_CA obj files

I have game connection for my bbs. The trouble is that is the games are set up to use modems for the connection not telnet / internet.

I can install it on my bbs if you want. The verssion I have supports WG2.0

Right, my setup I installed a modem and used analog voip adapters so I could dial extensions and make a connection that way. This should work with the Flash games and Game Connection games if I can get a hold of it some day.
