  • CSDb and Pokefinder.org queries... right in your C64

    That's right, you can search CSDb and Pokefinder.org right from your C64 term program. Best of all, when you find what you want, you can download it with XModem or ZModem.

    Just log onto:

    bbs.altiworld.com : 513 <-- ANSI

    Think about it, no more downloading to a PC, transferring to a floppy or SD card. Simply find your file and start downloading right to your C64!

    Use type "f" from the main menu, or type "Files" at the main menu. Then you search by typing "s search terms" from the Files menu.

    Now you can play Infocom games on the BBS! Right now Hitchhiker's Guide to the
    Galaxy is first up.

    Just hit Z at the main menu.
