I just got back into BBSing and I'm looking for version 3.4, 3.5 of Yankee Trader (there may possibly be a bug in 3.6 so I want to downgrade). Can put up 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.6 if anyone needs. Hopefully I won't get too much flames for asking about this! |

Well, my searching only found what I assume is version 3.6, although I did find a nice site that holds text writings for many different games, is pretty kewl. http://www.textfiles.com/ |

The search timeframe is 8/1992 (v3.3) to 2/1994 (v3.6). I'm browsing through old shareware ROMS. |

Yankee Trader and Trade Wars share some history. According to this, Alan Davenport, the author of Yankee Trader co-authored the TW1000 version of Trade Wars with Chris Sherrick before he branched off and created Yankee Trader. http://www.eisonline.com/twhistory/ http://www.classic-games.com/tradewars/history.html http://textfiles.com/rpg/iago |

I wish you luck in finding the version you are looking for. I found 3.2 and 3.6, but that was it. And now the song "Space Cowboy" by Steve Miller is stuck in my head. |

No guarantees, but I will begin my search into my BBS archive. I know I've seen it, played it. Just not sure if I kept it. I enjoyed it though. |

I just checked my BBS Door game files and my version of Yankee Trader is 3.0, and 3.6. I do not have v3.4 or 3.5. sorry about that. I came across another one too. Outpost Trader. That's what started me out before I went to Yankee Trader, then to TradeWars. Just another piece of history brought to you by Thrawn. |

Sad part is I threw out all my old 5 1/4" BBS disks a few months ago. Who knew I'd run across SynchroNET 3 months later! |
