Hello Ed!

Java and JavaScript are completely different things. I'll let you research 
that.

Just google for "online java games" and go from there.

One place that I found worked really well is pogo.com. The last time i looked 
at
it was over 5 years ago.  Meanwhile, they've changed the service a bit, and
seems to support previously registered users only now.

This one is quick, and allows immediate play:

 EV>He isn't a BBS User.

Sounds like he has a limited understanding of BBSes.  Games on BBSes are
traditional, blocky, ascii, etc.. types.  Some are based on animations, some 
are
text-based like RPG's.  But many are implemented quite nicely.

Today, we access BBSes via Telnet.
