I am pleased to announce that the Masquerade is now hosting its very own 25th Anniversary Edition of TradeWars Game Sever. TWGS is available from the door games menu. Currently, there is one game configured to use stock settings. I have the ability to create multiple games, so if there is a particular configuration you are fond of, please let me know.
Check out this awesome ANSI artwork for the Masquerade by bw! of Blocktronics. This artwork will eventually be featured on the BBS itself. Big thanks to bw! for all the hard work. I can’t thank you enough.
I am please to announce that a new version of Usurper is now available. This version of Usurper uses the “New” configuration as opposed to the “Classic” configuration. The “New” configuration gives players the choice of different kinds of armor (head, legs, feet, body, etc.). This version also takes advantage of the new 32 bit executable of Usurper for faster, more reliable game play.
You will find Usurper (New) in the Door Games menu. For those that prefer the original Usurper, you can still access it using the Usurper (Classic) option.
You can now telnet to the Masquerade BBS directly from Facebook thanks to Rick Parrish’s fTelnet.

The revival of the Masquerade has been online for two years today. Happy birthday Masquerade! And yes, sadly, the cake is still a lie.
Land of Devastation has been added to the door games menu.
In the far future, and the world has experienced our worst fears. A nuclear holocaust wreaked havoc on the surface of Earth and only one small group of humans in secluded Sacre Base remain unaffected. After the war, they worked to bring stability to the area around them and build the Puritron, which would filter radioactive contaminants out of huge quantities of air. Before it could be put to use, however, it was stolen by various factions of mutants and the pieces were scattered far and wide. As a new recruit, your job is to help establish order and, if possible, locate pieces of the Puritron and return them to Sacre Base.
I have added a number of new features to the BBS and to the website.
Phew, I think that’s it. I have some more updates coming provided I can find the time to work on them.
As always, thanks for calling.
At long last, the old favorite, Usurper is here! Play it now under the door games menu. This is v0.20e, recently released under the GPL.
Gang wars and partying. Sex, drugs and steroids. Fight monsters and other players in this fascinating game. Be prepared for violent and bizarre nonstop action. Become king, be a GOD, or fall in love and have children.
This awesome artwork is featured in Blocktronics Codename Chris Wirth art pack and will eventually be featured on the BBS itself. Big thanks goes to zeroVision for his excellent work.
