A Cyberboard play-by-e-mail (PBeM) gamebox, created by Antonio Pinar and developed by Al Cannamore, has been prepared for Downtown. Cyberboard is a PC program that permits players to pass moves back and forth via e-mail and play games online. The gamebox contains all the data and artwork needed to play Downtown. Information on the Cyberboard program can be found HERE.
A PC running the following operating systems is required: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT Version 4.0, and Windows 2000. An e-mail client is also required. See the Tutorial for more details.
This is a screen shot taken direct from a Cyberboard game. The Cyberboard artwork is based directly on the playtest map and counters.
