Since Deuce added Atari ST/VT52 support to SyncTerm, I've been revisiting several ST BBS door games. I was particularly taken by DDST (as in "D&D").

It's a pretty good adventure game and it uses VT52 colors effectively, particularly a screen-flashing effect. It can be frustrating, but you *can* make progress, and it has good features you don't often see in door games (like "Save"!).

Well, this morning I finally beat it!

The first of several pages of story text after achieving victory in the game DDST: "Oh no! Not again, that blinding light and dizziness, what did I do to deserve this again? "I turned to look and saw the Old Oracle again, but this time he seemed to be almost radiating a strange aura about him, He smiled at me and exclaimed, "'Congratulations, you have defeated the Great Evil that had come down upon our land, We were hoping that you would be the one to defeat Asmodeus in battle and you have met him and came away alive. We don't know how we can repay you for your accomplishnent, but we will remember you in great esteem at the Lord's Keep in Isengard.' "I smiled back at him and told him that I would not except any money as I was as glad as he was to be rid of the Evil Demon. "'What happened to Asmodeus? I don't think I really could kill a being with such great strength?'"
