    Alright I was a bit too young to play anything like this at it’s peak, but I am interested. Do I understand it correctly that the way to play this would on a windows machine in cmd? Quickly tried alacritty and kitty terminals (linux) and I don’t think some of the stuff looks correct

    EDIT:

    Get syncterm, then just do syncterm telnet://tw.catsweat.com

    This how the game entering should look like (it didnt look like this at all for me in any of the above term emus)

      its a telnet server, essentially. so any telnet client should work ok…

      ubuntu has it built in ctrl+alt+t ‘telnet tw.catsweat.com

      for windows i think swath used to be the hot client… not sure about other windows telnet clients

        There is a putty Telnet client and also a role in Windows system you can add for a Telnet client baked into the cli
