• cool old bbs reminder

    From Hylian@VERT to All on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 09:16:13
    I was digging through old dos games, reliving memories and glory, when I saw this at the end of my "UFO" session. (A UNO card game for the dos pc, with aliens, ofcoarse.)

    Anyways, as was popular back then the author had a "please buy my shareware" exit screen, and on it was mentioned a bbs.

    Sorcerer's Quarters BBS (410)-290-3752
    (24 hrs/day, 300 to 14400 baud)

    Ahh the memories. I remember 14400 was balls to the walls fast back then...

    Here is a screenshot of the exit screen, for your nostalgic pleasure: http://tinypic.com/r/erfqeu/8

    See you on the flip side,

    Yeah, sometimes I miss the little things like that from back in the day. I remember getting faster modems and being excited at how much faster it was when I logged into a BBS that supported its speed.

    depending on how it outputs to the screen, you can use doorway to redirect input and output to/from the user.

    i have a dos monopoly game on my bbs and others that i've used with doorway. ---
