 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.

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.

Space Cowboy wrote: Yankee Trader and Trade Wars do share some history.http://www.eisonline.com/twhistory/http://www.classi c-games.com/tradewars/history.htmlhttp://textfiles.com/rpg/i ago Very true on the history and the history of the games is something I find interesting. 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. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

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. _________________ -Thrawn But risk has always been an inescapable part of warfare. -- Knight to Queen's Bishop 3 |

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!
