Since Deuce added Atari ST/VT52 support to SyncTerm, I've been revisiting several ST BBS door games. I was particularly taken by DDST (as in "D&D").

It's a pretty good adventure game and it uses VT52 colors effectively, particularly a screen-flashing effect. It can be frustrating, but you *can* make progress, and it has good features you don't often see in door games (like "Save"!).

Well, this morning I finally beat it!

The sysop of DarkForce BBS customized his board today for April Fools' Day. Telnet to darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org:1040 to check it out!

It's an Atari ST BBS, so I recommend using SyncTerm's new VT52 mode for an authentic experience.
