For those that have bsdgames loaded in Linux and Mystic, you'll find that
they work in UTF-8 and oddly XP telnet from shell (which is CP437). This
would also include putty by default as it's UTF-8. They don't work from SyncTERM and the like (without font change). I've been playing with these and the settings for a while, watch out for the ones that shell out or only offer the games to trusted users.
tetris-bsd will show the high score (for default user) if you add a GT |PA on the next line so it will show that next page after you hit Enter for high scores. I include a |GD text/tetris before it as well to tell people that
CP437 isn't likely to work (has |PA to end page).

What are you saying exactly? If I have a bsdgame as a door, none of my Syncterm users can use it? When you say that they work in UTF-8, what
terminal are you using?

Putty, Linux telnet, likely can use SyncTERM but have to change the character set (which most won't do).

From what i had seen most have the code page selectable which should mean
that its across the board least I would hope so when chosen before login.

I do not but then again I do not run bsdgames but now that its mentioned
sounds like a cool idea. :P

Hmm, I don't recall seeing UTF-8 as an option in SyncTerm. Just looked, it's not among the available codepages, unless it's been added in a recent build. I'm sure PuTTY and Linux telnet/SSH will do UTF-8.
