TradeWars 2002 is the space trading game that defined BBS door gaming. This is EchoBBS's own browser version. You get fifty turns a day to work the trade routes and climb your board's leaderboard.

How it works

  • Jump to an adjacent sector for one turn. You start each day with fifty.
  • Ports buy and sell three goods: Fuel Ore, Organics, and Equipment. Each port specialises.
  • Buy low at one port, jump to one that pays more, and sell high. Watch your cargo hold.
  • Do not run out of turns mid-route. You cannot sell from deep space.

Scoring: Your score is your net worth: credits, cargo, ship, and bank balance.
