I’ve thought for a long time about setting up an old BBS. Inviting people to play Legend of the Red Dragon and Usurper. Well done.

- pigggg 7mo agoDon't forget some BRE and TW2002
- malbs 7mo agoInterBBS BRE is still one of my favourite turn based "online" strategy experiences, working together to defeat other BBS's, so good
- firesteelrain 7mo agoI have been playing LoRD here and other places for a while http://lord.stabs.org/playlord.html http://lord.stabs.org/playlord.html I used to host LoRD and Usurper on a local Renegade BBS back in the mid 90s
- jasonjayr 7mo agoWe need a ripscript version for the web!
- hallway_monitor 7mo agoBut what about Galactic Empire?
- nunobrito 7mo agoStill a great game that doesn't get boring. Every year or so I'll play it again for a few months in a row.
- brightball 7mo agoNice. I remember somebody who ran one of the BBS that my friends and I played on back in the day staying up to watch me play Usurper to figure out how I was beating everybody when they had their rooms guarded. It wasn't anything special, we just found a race/class combo that basically beat everything.
- treebeard901 7mo agoI've been hoping someone can make a text based modern version of Lord or TradeWars. Having LLMs generate a lot of the gameplay and text dynamically would be one idea.
- allenu 7mo agoI wrote some BBS door games back in the day and was thinking of making a new one today, although not multi-player. It would be in the style of the old games (ANSI-style art and text) but for a single-player and with a daily play limitation as well. You'd only play a few minutes each day and if you died, you'd have to come back the next day. Nothing concrete yet, but I definitely would like to make one just for old time's sake.
