8.15) What games support online action via modem?
This section by Andreas Koch. - Modem Chess, a PD game in Basic by ??? - Modem-Battleships, a PD game in Basic by ??? - Tele-Chess, a PD game in Basic by ??? - Jelly Beans a ML game by Chris Martin - "Battleships ST-XL" by Florian Dingler (German name: Schiffe versenken ST-XL) - Midi Maze by XANTH (prototype) - Commbat by Adventure International (I have also seen an advert from GCP in Analog or Antic, that listed the following games: The City, Cybertank, Cybership, Bio-War, Lords of Space; I am not sure if they are all available for the Atari, A.K.) To play these games online, one would not only require an Atari computer, but also a modem, a modem-driver and/or a terminal program (like Kermit, Bobterm, Teleterm, A-Term, Ice-T, BBS Express Pro, etc.). See also the sections 7.8, 10.1 and 10.2 which tell you more about modem/terminal programs and modem hardware for the Atari. Emulator users have it a little easier and can use the built-in modem emulation in Ape-DOS, Ape-Win, Atari 800 DOS, Atari 800 Win, etc.
