Well, it sounds like Merk should get to work!

If someone can direct me to a zip file filled with BBS Doory Goodness that I can extract/install to the webspace here, I'll put it up. It could be anything. Tradewars clone, Pimp Wars clone or even more hilariously a door that shows ANSI pictures of food. I don't care. I just don't have the ability to go and find any.

Hey! I'm pissed that ICJ isn't yet wasting his time, and his money to entertain us with free BBS Door games. What the fuck is up?

You can always just run a BBS locally. I used Renegade. Also, many door games will have a LOCAL mode -- you can run the game without even having a BBS (my own Lunatix 4.xx has a /LOCAL parm, for instance).

My buddy had a BBS that we could Telnet into a few years back. He had LORD, LORD II, and Usurper(my favorite). I'm guessing he was emulating the software somehow. Also, some guy on Caltrops a while back had a little game written to run through an AIM bot, though you'd probably need to recode a door game to do that.

Is it possible to setup modern-day versions of BBS door games? Not that I need another thing to fail at doing, disappointing everyone, but the way people were gushing about Tradewars really made me think.

Anyone currently playing anything like that on a BBS with hosting? (I know it's trivial to do it if you are running your BBS off your own computer, but I do not have that luxury.)
