  • BBS Door Game

    From Steven Sheeley@1:275/97 to All on Sunday, October 30, 2016 11:58:52

    Hello everybody!

    I'm looking to create a new door game for BBSes and I'm wondering if y'all have
    any ideas on what might make for a good new game? Back in the day I
    had started work on a game called CorpWars. Kinda thinking of making a go of that again.

    Any ideas of what you'd like to see in a new door game would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Steven

    Well I had an idea that it would be real nice to have my friends and family in some sort of a database where I could keep in touch with them. Perhaps the system could even suggest new friends and contacts based on my geographical location or what school I went to, etc. It would basically be a collection of "faces" in some sort of "book". You could call it Facebook?

    Another idea would be to give all of the twits on a BBS a forum where they can twit with eachother, share likeminded twit-related nonsense; and limit their postings to 160 characters or less to make the twits have to "work for it" and use what little they have of their brains. You could call it Twitter?

    Sounds like a good of a theme as any. A lot of other themes have been done to death. Best of luck!
