Alright I was a bit too young to play anything like this at it’s peak, but I am interested. Do I understand it correctly that the way to play this would on a windows machine in cmd? Quickly tried alacritty and kitty terminals (linux) and I don’t think some of the stuff looks correct

EDIT:

Get syncterm, then just do syncterm telnet://tw.catsweat.com

This how the game entering should look like (it didnt look like this at all for me in any of the above term emus)

its a telnet server, essentially. so any telnet client should work ok…

ubuntu has it built in ctrl+alt+t ‘telnet tw.catsweat.com

for windows i think swath used to be the hot client… not sure about other windows telnet clients
