I don't know a whole lot about them, but there are quite a few boards
running doors on real Amiga/C64/Atari/etc. that you can log in and
check out.

If there are some good games, I'd love to hook up a emulator and serve
them from my "PC" board :)

There was a game called Empire for the Amiga. To me it was the best of
all the "buy grain, add people, attack others, rinse and repeat" type
games.  I think a few years back I even found a board running it. If
you find one let me know and we'll all jump in.

I have articles about several [Atari ST BBS
games](http://breakintochat.com/wiki/Category:Atari_ST) on
breakintochat.com., as well as some interviews with authors including
[Jon Radoff](http://breakintochat.com/blog/2016/02/02/jon-radoff-
creator-of-space-empire-elite-and-final-frontier/) (Space Empire
Elite, Final Frontier) and [Kevin
MacFarland](http://breakintochat.com/blog/2013/09/05/kevin-macfarland-
creator-of-assassin/) (Assassin).

As far as places to play, you should visit Dark Force BBS and
Starfleet HQ BBS.

I can stand up an Amiga BBS on digitalocean but tracking down good
games is tough. The best one that I've found is Hack and Slash. Very
fun game, but extremely tough.
