for my BBS. Like most of the code Bill ever wrote, it was awesome and different.
Here was a platform shooter that used nothing but ANSI and stick
figures. It didn't take the world by storm, but I and many others
thought it was very cool.
Sadly, Bill has recently passed away.
For anyone interested, I've put up a webpage for Stickman as a memorial
to my friend:
https://www.ipingthereforeiam.com/bbs/stickman/
Included are some screens as well as instructions for installing under Synchronet and 64-bit Windows using Dosbox-X.
There's also info for those wishing to request a branded registered version.

Back in the early 90s, my buddy Bill Reamy wrote his first and
only door for my BBS. Like most of the code Bill ever wrote, it
was awesome and different.

We have several reports of success with dosemu under Linux as well.

Oh, I'm truly sorry for this loss.
I saw the preview gifs on the page and they are really cool.
Unfortunately I don't have syncronet, but I plan to make the door work locally anyway. Really great work, thanks so much to the late Bill and you for introducing us to the game.
