Guys, in the early 90s I played a BBS game where I think I would have different levels of power and earn points and maybe collect things and I'm having a really hard time remembering how I would play it and what it was called. Any ideas? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PatriotsFor2021 · 2023-07-09 15:48 I believe it was on MS-DOS and I believe it was a dial-up game. But again I really can't remember maybe it kind of reminds me of dungeons and dragons. And if it helps anyone I think I used to actually meet up with people that play the game at a local Nathan's in NY. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VisualNoiz · 2023-07-09 16:09 LORD? you can play via telnet to [https://lord.stabs.org/](https://lord.stabs.org/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PatriotsFor2021 · 2023-07-09 16:12 Holy shit. Telnet! I remember practically nothing for my childhood but you just brought back a memory. You're saying that I can still play this game today? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VisualNoiz · 2023-07-09 16:34 if it's LORD, yes, this BBS is dedicated and has 3 games running. Many other BBSes still run it as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AllEncompassingThey · 2023-07-09 16:38 Holy moly did I play the shit out of some Legend Of the Red Dragon back in the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KapitanKiwi · 2023-07-09 16:51 I used to run both Trade Wars and LORD on my board before I shut it down a la few years ago. I got a spare Raspberry Pi.... maybe I'll put it back up. 🤔 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KookyWait · 2023-07-09 17:53 Usurper also fits this description, in addition to LORD which was mentioned by u/VisualNoiz (LORD was my first thought, too) You can find telnet BBSes to relive all of your memories of the 1990s in the 2020s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rskindred · 2023-07-09 18:45 Usurper was the first game that came to mind. I don’t recall collecting things in LORD? It’s been a long time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zelionthunder · 2023-07-09 20:14 LORD, Usurper, Exitilus, LORE, Arrow Bridge, Falcon's Honor all fit into that. Can check them out at http://blood.bbsn.us/bbs or telnet://blood.bbsn.us:2323 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 530_Oldschoolgeek · 2023-07-09 20:42 I ran LORD, TW2002, Lands of Devastation, and many others on my BBS back in the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- goodmoto · 2023-07-09 21:24 In addition to all those mentioned, could be The Pit? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BigBadBart25 · 2023-07-09 21:38 I have several versions of lord running on Penguin BBS! mrpenguin.ddns.net:2023. From the early versions of no IGMs to the last one out. Over 50 door games/ game servers, such as door party, and inter. Give the board some love! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mylaptopisburningme · 2023-07-10 04:39 Tele Arena? You're in the north plaza. There is nobody here. There is nothing on the flooor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PatriotsFor2021 · 2023-07-10 04:49 What's that ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mylaptopisburningme · 2023-07-10 04:54 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEo1nx3ktF4&ab_channel=EricNusbaum ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ragebane · 2023-07-10 05:50 Usurper or LORD! Come play! [https://pangolinbbs.com](https://pangolinbbs.com), you can login via web UI! I just fired it up a couple of weeks ago, lots of work to do --but playing Usurper by myself gets boring. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PatriotsFor2021 · 2023-07-10 11:34 Are telnet games the same as BBS? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dperry324 · 2023-07-10 14:05 Can you be a little more specific? You've basically described all the top BBS door games of the era. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dperry324 · 2023-07-10 14:08 There's a couple of hundred telnet bbses alive to day. You can find most of them through the telnet bbs guide page. [https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/](https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dmine45 · 2023-07-13 09:03 The Diamond Mine Online has multiple versions of LORD and Usurper. Telnet to [bbs.dmine.net](https://bbs.dmine.net) port 24 (Synchronet) or 2323 (WWIV) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yaaaargh · 2023-07-18 03:34 Forbidden lands?
