Chatta-NET METRO ================ Also listed as: Levity Ball Hub "Levity Ball began as a point system under Phil Thatch's PTC BBS, and before long opened to the public running Remote Access 2.0 on a 286/12 running DesqView with 2 megs of RAM. The name originally derived from a song by Alice Cooper. The entire system loaded on a ramdisk and was quite speedy, even when the connection speed ramped from 2400 through 9600 to 14.4 and finally 28.8. The board centered around doorgames and gamers and featured 33 games, many set up with "expert" level settings. In addition to the staples like Legend of the Red Dragon and Barren Realms Elite, there were many other intriguing and popular games such as Ultimate Universe and Iron Ox, almost all of which were registered by the player members. It also featured twelve rotating ANSI menu sets with eye-bleeding graphics and a special "speed-mode" menu for those with slower connections. Since the user interface was the primary distinction among most BBSs I tried hard to make Levity Ball as unique in that respect as possible, and I think was mostly successful. ANSI wasn't really designed with round shapes in mind but judicious use of shading principles put the "ball" in Levity Ball's graphics." - Tao Jones Phone : 423-698-3298 Place : Chattanooga, TN Years : 1993 - 1997 Sysop : David Grimes Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
