x-post incremental_games: Made a web game that has a lot of BBS
elements. Give it a try: Skynet Simulator
reddit / bbs

This feels alot like an updated version of Virtual Sysop or BBS Crash
or LEECH. Interesting tho.

Never heard of those, are those door games?

Yes, all of them are door games.

How does it have BBS elements if you don't even know what Virtual
Sysop is?  Very cool, although looking at the source there's no
database storage, and all the menu items are loaded from custom slugs.
This is more like an interactive fiction game than a BBS or BBS door
:)

The game itself isn't supposed to be modelled after a bbs, but there
is a host in there that has a bbs and door games

I was just kidding, I beat the wasteland game in the BBS.  Very cool
game, makes me want to write a virtual sysop/network operator game in
the same style.  Or an Uplink clone

After reading about it here, I played through this a few days ago
(including the doorgame) and quite enjoyed the whole thing. Well done
🙂
