Wow... that is some awesome stuff to see my source code has been resurrected! It appears that most of the code there is from the time of the origination of DMBBS Sept. 1987 - May 1989. I am the original "Depeche Mode" from Baltimore, Maryland at the
time. Eric reached out to me many years ago and filled me in on everything that happened with DMBBS after I sold the business when I graduated from college.
I still think my version is the best ;) What is really great here is that you resurrected the source code from the original games, especially Sigma, which I put a lot of effort into but people didn't have the patience to play it out to when it gets
interesting. It is a multi-player universe empire building game complete with random universe, discovery of planets, and building your own space fleets. It can take a while before you discover other empires and only if others are working on it as much
as you are!
Sigma was given away free with DMBBS as an example of the games. I wonder if the "module construction kit" source is around. It was given away free with each DMBBS so should be readily available for people who want to develop their own games.
The intent was that people would develop and share games which would promote DMBBS even more. I did have some people develop games under contract through me which was the model used for Empire Deluxe which was one of the most popular
games since it was
easy for a single player to enjoy.
I could go on, but if you have any questions let me know!
