Depends I guess.  In college I lived in Dallas with TONS of BBSes and
great door game communities with huge battles, and then moved to a
tiny town, where FidoNet was all there was to do hehe.

I was there mostly for the inter-node chat.

While I used a lot of message boards and downloaded many games and
made friends in inter-node chat, every night when the LoRD games would
turn over to a new day I'd be dialing into all the local BBS's to get
my daily turns in before doing the other BBS stuff. The other games I
could take or leave. Didn't have the patience for Usurper or Barren
Realms Elite...

I played a few single-line doors, but the game I got most into was a
MUD on a multi-line BBS, which primed me for total MUD obsession when
I got on the internet. But yeah, BRE/SRE/LoRD never did much for me.

Multi-line boards with chat were the best thing, though.

What would be nice is to see are new door game releases.  I know
there's quite a bit of BBS users who are nostalgic enough to jump on
telnet bulletin boards.  It's surprising to see new systems being put
up on a monthly basis.  It's growing.  I love to play a lot of the old
classics but would like to see new titles if people are willing to
build them.
