Legen of the Red Dragon...I haven't played this in years, and I found this, so I had to share...please tell me I'm not the only person who used to use a dial-up bbs way back before people had even heard of the internet. (I do miss the days of dailing in on my 2400 baud moden in my IBM PC XT...those were the days...)
Anyway, for all those intrested, enjoy.

I played on several BBS's in Greensboro back in the day

4/21/2006 12:13:22 AM

i used to get on BBS's... but not to play text based games. mostly just used it for chat, trade files, etc

usurper and tradewars ftw

I think it was jackleg or OmarBadu who set up one of these about 3 years ago.

^^^ Which boards did you frequent? One of my HS buddies and I ran a board called Information Plus, and there were others that i frequented, but i can't remember their names at this point. Tarheel connection maybe?

I remember the Tarheel Connection, and Paragon rings a bell. I know there were a few others, but I cant remember the names of them.

found a list of 'em http://bbslist.textfiles.com/336/

I was looking into creating my own BBS.

http://www.synchro.net/

I see that you can run one on your own machine. How can I get it to run on a webserver remotely?

4/21/2006 3:53:00 PM

TAG BBS

4/21/2006 4:19:40 PM

BBS down?

5/29/2006 3:50:40 AM

meevert (sp?) set an internet one up a year (or 3?) ago. It was sorta popular with a few of us for awhile but I am not sure it ever gained any real traction. I was a traderwars/lord/global war/cartel fan back in the day, always getting in trouble for sneaking down to the comptar at 12am to get online.

5/29/2006 4:10:14 AM

free advertising for meeverett and his bbs, i can only assume he still has it up after all these years...

5/31/2006 7:23:08 AM

^king kong aint got shit on me

5/31/2006 7:48:10 AM

I remember Pimpwars. Back when I was a freshman in HS, we had a group of us that played Pimpwars. One day this guy got pissed off that his whorehouse got firebombed, and during activity period he threatened to beat people up for burning down his whorehouse.

I think there was also Usurper. I do remember playing Tradewars (I guess a ST-like game where you traded goods), as well as LORD and, of course, Barney Splat.
