I used to play a door game about the haa, hackers and phone modems. I
am seeking the title of the games.

Thanks for the help. I remember that you could get part of the phone
number to the HAA or something similar. Then you could win the game
by dialing to this BBS and beat it. I am trying to see screenshot of
BBS Hacker, it seem to be the one.

It was simply called Hacker, and I believe it had a version number
after it. A very fun door game!

HAA was the Hacker Association of America.

Here I am replying to my own post. I am porting this game to something
runnable using Regina Rexx, which should be available on all platforms
within the terminal. I've made attempts over the years to recreate
this in python, etc ... but now that i can barely remember the
gameplay 25+ years later, i need a bit of a lead. If years go by and I
don't finish, upvote this, it'll remind me to finish. Converting CNet
BBS functions to legacy rexx is no picnic. They OG dev also
obscurificated the code. I have choice words. Was it worth it? I used
to be an expert ARexx programmer..but wow...that was long ago.

Did you ever get this going? I would love to see if if you did.

I made a bit of progress but got distracted by a baby. It's still
broken. I have some spare time over the next few days, so i'll see if
i can make a little more progress.
