The history of MASKEN....
Masken is one of the first computer games I ever played (on a computer :)).
The game I played then (1982) was written by students(?) at Linköpings -
Tekniska Högskola (university of technology) - and the computer was an ABC80,
made by Luxor in Sweden.
Although I've played most of the games ever released since then :), Masken
still is one of my favourites.
I know there have been many many different games based on the same theme
(Nibbles, Tron, etc.), but this one will always be the one I think of as the
original one.
A couple of months ago, I decided that I would try to make Masken as an BBS
OnLine game. First of all I made an DOS EXE version with my mind set on keeping
it as close to the ABC80 version as possible. I think I've done a quite decent
work :)(have a look at the EXE file). Second, I did some small modifications,
and compiled it as a ProBoard Executable (PEX) - it worked!
After that, I've added some OnLine-game necessities such as a Top-10-best-
players-list and lots of other small BBS specific stuff, but the game itself
is almost the same as the original one....
Thanks to the guys who wrote the original ABC80 MASKEN (who ever you are).
I'd also like to thank Magnus Nyvall for beta testing and some good suggestions.
Have FUN!
