I just miss BBS games like LORD[0] and Trade Wars[1] in their &quot;natural&quot; setting.<p>Sure, I can play them now, but when dialing in to a BBS meant spending actual money on long distance calls, most people who played those games were pretty serious about it. Similar to how most DWANGO[2] players were also pretty solid and didn&#x27;t mess around.<p>Another fond memory: finding a BBS list on one BBS, and then dialing into all of the new ones to see what they had to offer. Was a great way to spend the night while the parents were asleep.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Legend_of_the_Red_Dragon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Legend_of_the_Red_Dragon</a>
