Is there a guide to install TradeWars 2002 in Mystic BBS ?

I have written a guide to accomplish this in the Linux/64 bit version of Mystic. Currently have TW2002 V.3.09 running on my bbs natively without the need for an external door server (though I also have a BBSLink game running
as well). The setup on windows would be different though possible if you are running a 32-Bit version of windows (which was my original approach by
setting up a telnet session from the linux bbs to the windows machine using a telnet server and a batch file to copy the drop file).

Do i need to connect to an external game server or it works standalone ? the game server solution may be good, so that several BBS may share the same game

Door servers are great resources if you want the game to run. You could also purchase the TWGS version of the game and run a door server yourself and only allow your BBS to connect to it.

Please tell me which are the exact releases to intall (my BBS runs on docker , ubuntu based, and i have installed dosemu too)

Version 3.09 is probably the best version to run on, I use the DPMI version. Check out my guide for setting up TW2002 at:

I also wrote a guide for setting up Mystic and DOSEMU on Ubuntu 20.04 64/Bit which may give you some useful info (though it sounds like you are already
set with the DOSEMU setup:

You are welcome to connect and check out the running game by connecting to
the bbs at telnet://bbs.arcadiabbs.com
