A friend of mine hosted a BBS on an Amiga in the early 90s. I was amazed by the machine's multitasking. He could actually use his computer while simultaneously hosting the BBS. (Eventually I think I got DESQview for my PC and could pull off a kinda-sorta approximation.) The BBS software he ran was Dungeons and Dragons themed, and as I recall it mixed exploring and combat along with the mundane BBS activities-- messages, downloads, etc. I think that your experience points in the game-side ended up translating to BBS-side privileges, too. I should do some searching to see if I can dig up some details. It was unique across the various BBS's I called.
