Anyone remember LoRD? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyrannosaurus_fred · 2014-02-20 21:19 I ran a few BBS back in the day. One ran on tribbs and I had a game called Legend of the Red Dragon. I've been looking for a web version for quite some time now. Can anyone help? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnaClocker · 2014-02-20 22:10 Just about all of the telnet BBS's still have it online to play. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tyrannosaurus_fred · 2014-02-20 22:27 I'm so out of the loop. I'll look into that. No web version though? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ciderbat · 2014-02-21 00:28 I still play it. Even after years of not playing it, I have the forest fight key sequence memorized. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkman14 · 2014-02-21 02:38 Well, there's [Legend of the Green Dragon](http://www.lotgd.net), which is a web adaptation. But I think it's better to use the original on a BBS. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SgtPeepers · 2014-02-21 10:07 fun fact, author has a company that makes games http://www.rtsoft.com/pages/about.php (sadly I think LORD was his biggest hit to date) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zahne1977 · 2014-02-21 10:43 You can play it on my BBS through the flash telnet interface simply by surfing to [here](http://linenoisebbs.istmein.de/ftelnet.ssjs) and clicking the connect button. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2014-02-21 19:03 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- speeb · 2014-02-21 23:39 I just started playing again this week on acad.dynip.com - local board. And others, but I like his set up. LoGD is good too, and usually a lot more active than a telnet board. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkman14 · 2014-02-21 23:48 I'm not sure about that. In the video interview, Robinson says Growtopia is more successful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kidneyboy79 · 2014-02-24 11:44 I totally remember LoRD! I never played it because I was always playing BarneySplat! Those were in the section of the BBS called the doors, if I'm remembering it right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- valcarni · 2014-03-05 14:04 Yeh I remember that game.. I used to think about it while on my paper routes. I remember making a game like LORD 2 back in the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Beef_Blastbody · 2014-03-14 13:29 I remember sitting there in QModem at like 11:56 every summer night trying to beat everyone else calling the board so I could be the first to play .. Then I got wise, let everyone else play before me, resurrect their character and then you had your pick of victims. I love the game but almost all of the boards I've played on recently have so many [O]ther Places that its not even hard. You can level up so quickly its really not about beating other players, the leaderboard is just who can slay the dragon the most before the game is reset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I-baLL · 2014-03-25 20:34 Wasn't Legend of the Green Dragon a BBS door sequel to LoRD? It had ASCII graphics if I remember correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkman14 · 2014-03-25 20:49 I think you're getting things backwards. LoRD was the original BBS game, first released in 1989, with ASCII and ANSI graphics. Seth Robinson did make a sequel called LoRD II: New World. This was also for BBSes. Legend of the GREEN Dragon is a WEB-based adaptation of LoRD that came out in 2002. Its authors call it a "remake of and homage to the classic BBS Door game." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I-baLL · 2014-03-25 21:59 I don't remember LoRD having graphics but you're right, LoTR 2 is what I was thinking of. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I-baLL · 2014-03-25 22:01 You pressed "s". "S" is for "Story". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jhavard · 2014-03-27 00:25 See, that's why I like wtLoRD... All the IGMs were for-pay, which means not a single one is usable these days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Beef_Blastbody · 2014-03-27 09:01 Are you positive? I thought for sure I played a few of the IGMs a year or so ago. They weren't a one time purchase to register? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jhavard · 2014-03-28 05:45 That's what I meant. They required a registration code, not like a monthly fee or anything.
