Trade Wars Game Server (TWGS) can operate in 4 different modes. There
are differences between how each mode operates, and what is available
for the GameOp to modify. These 4 modes are identified as:
Game Mode identified as being...
TWGS (Gold extensions OFF) |
version 3.11.xx |
TWGS (Gold extensions ON) |
version 3.11.xx Gold |
MBBS (Gold extensions OFF) |
version 3.11.xx MBBS |
MBBS (Gold extensions ON) |

The TWGS versions are the result of the rewrite by John Pritchett for
playing Trade Wars over the Internet. The 2 versions for MBBS denote
games that are similar to the Major-BBS version that made Trade Wars
so popular. The Gold extensions allow the GameOp to customize the ships,
planets, and/or aliens. The game mode can be identified on the [V]iew
Screen from the Command prompt, and also on the title screen when you
enter the game. The most recent release is version (as of Oct 27th,
2002) 3.11.55 (TWGS10155.EXE)
and the date of release is
February 14th, 2002.
