    I was fascinated by the Colossal Cave when I read "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Stephen Levy as a teenager in 1984. The only text adventure game I ever played was The Legend of The Red Dragon when I ran WildCat! BBS at college in the mid-1990's.

    It seems that LORD is in a weird copyright state.

    http://lord.lordlegacy.com/new...

    Original developer sold the rights, but the company that holds those rights seems to have gone MIA. It seems he's tried reaching out to them, but they're not responding to him or anyone else, or even new sales. He still has the sources, but legally cannot release them.

    All it would take is these guys:

    http://www.gameport.com/contac...

    to grant permission, and LORD *COULD* be ported to more modern systems, rather than trying to figure out bizzare ways to emulate a 16bit systems and expose them to the public internet.

    (or waiting 70+ years)

    Hmm. Seems ALL browsers and OSs can be configured via to allow arbitrary:// protocols to be opened with a specific program, indeed the latter can do so with plugins... Even when echoed to my xterm, that FTP line creates a link that opens my FTP program.

    Who cares when the patent was granted. It's iterative and obvious, and it has been such since the late 80s wherein I played MUDs that had this sort of behavior... Certain words in certain contexts while in the hub-world would become highlighted by the software when written and when activated (by typing a command or "tabbing" to them), would launch another BBS "door" program.

    eg: Hey, don't forget to use up your LoRD forest fights today!
