3DFiBs connects to FIBS (first internet backgammon server)FIBS is a free non commercial service founded in the early 1990s and is supported entirely by donations and volunteers. The programs that players use to connect to FIBS are also mostly free programs written by fibsters.3DFiBs is one of these programs. It is not directly affiliated to FIBS. It simply connects to the server and presents the functions inan easy to use graphical format. The original FIBS games were played on DOS type scrolling X|O representations of the board andmoves had to be typed in as numbers (sounds like a nightmare but the brave pioneers of internet backgammon forged the way)For those of you too young to remember.. yes, there was a time before clicking on icons with a mouse was invented. Monitor screens were black and white, commands had to be typed in at a command prompt (a flashing C->) and there was no minimizing maximizing and moving windows around.
