DAVE'S TERM : O N L I N E G A M E S
Programs by David Jansen
Text by Fender Tucker
Now that you've had nine months to get acquainted with DAVE'S TERM 128
it's time you had some fun with your friends online. So Side Two of LS 128
#29 is devoted to seven two-player games for use with DT128's "remote"
mode. The instructions for the remote module are in Chapter 17, found on
LS 128 #28, the previous issue. They state that this mode allows your
computer to be a sort of BBS which can be called by a friend. While
online, you can play:
(1) Battleship
(2) Stratego
(3) Chess
(4) Backgammon
(5) Cribbage
(6) Othello
(7) Yahtzee
You access the remote mode through the RECEIVE A CALL option on the
main menu. Be sure to first set up your drives and terminal parameters as
described in Chapter 17 of the instructions. From the RECEIVE A CALL menu
set the Menu Drive, which is the drive where the files from Side Two of LS
128 #29 are found.
NOTE: You can copy all of the files to a 1581 disk with the rest of DT128
(if you use one) or you can leave all of the games files on a 1541 disk
(like LS 128 if you get the 5.25 inch version) in the drive set by "Menu
Drive".
Then select REMOTE+ from the menu to load the "remote.mod". You'll see
a directory option which you can use to see all of the files on the games
disk, or you can press ESC to get back to the RECEIVE A CALL menu.
Now select "Receive a Call" and you'll get a prompt, "By your command-
>". The instructions give you a list of the keys you can press. Press S
for the Submenu and you'll get another prompt, "Subcommand->". Press E to
get a menu of the various emulation modes. Then press O for the Online
games menu. The menu gives you some information about each game, whether
it's C/G or ANSI, or C/G, ANSI or Proterm. After you choose a game you can
read a HELP file to see how it's played or start playing.
Have fun with the games!
MINOR BUG REPORT
----------------
Don Graham, a DT128 fan, reports that the file copier built into DT128
can produce a "burst command error" on C-128Ds. The solution is to reset
your drive before copying by using the recessed switch on the right side of
the C-128D box. Don is a good friend of LOADSTAR and an expert on many
aspects of DT128. He's volunteered to help any subscriber who sends him a
self-addressed stamped envelope. His address:
Don Graham
417 Phirne Road
Glen Burnie MD 21061
Thanks, Don!
