Tradewars

TradeWars is the classic space trader game originally released in the late 1980s for Bulletin Board Systems. For 25 years, it has been actively played by a devoted community of gameops and players. It is a seminal game, credited as an early inspiration by many of today’s game developers.

TWGS is a stand-alone server and game management application. It is the simplest and most flexible way to host classic TradeWars on the Internet today.

I do not know if they are giving registration codes for the original door game version. There seems to be an issue with the game server running under Windows10. Windows deletes the active game from time to time, as if it's a virus or something. Rumor has it they are working on a fix for this issue.
