Pimp Wars

If you've come here looking for help, you probably already know what this game is about. It is available as a standard DOS fossil based version, the Windows Door32 version, and the Linux version. There is no official download site but it can be obtained from https://breakintochat.com/wiki/PimpWars

The intro image may not display correctly in some terminals. To fix that you can add the following lines to your ctrl/modopts.ini file.

[xtrn:pimpwars]
eval_before_exec: console.write("\x1b[=4h")
eval_after_exec: console.write("\x1b[=4l")

Let the board recycle then setup your BBS accordingly. Ensure the door.sys drop file is in lower case on Linux systems. Due to the nature of the game, you may want to set it to an appropriate age limit.
