First, it had a new | game uploaded onto each drive every single day.. it | seemed that every piece of software that crossed from one | coast to the other went through my system. And second, | it had a really cool (at the time) little VT-52 text art | scene of a space ship coming down and landing (thrusters | turning on and off and all). I probably have that | somewhere still. I ran it for a few years.. I guess til | highschool. For a time I put it up during highschool as | a Proving Grounds system.

The BBS system was deployed as a | way for our clients to send us their documents to us for | reproduction. Of course... I had to "enhance" the system | during every spare moment. Putting in the FIDO news group | feed, what was the name of that very popular fantasy text | game? Ypu'd go into the forest and kill animals? Talk in | the pubs? Dragon something? Whatever it was - it was all | a blast! Of course, then it was cutting edge and very few | clients would use it simply because they didn't have a | modem, or if they did, the print button was much easier | to push. :) The BBS really never paid for itself, but it | did wake up our company to the up and coming digital age. | The offical name was "MegaCopies' Document Reception | System".

Chris Todesco COMMENTS | "The Game Zone was first known as Gamers' Galaxy before | it was relaunched as the Game Zone. The sysop was a kid | named Chris Todesco, who went by the handle Desco. Like | so many BBS's, the board went through long periods with | little administration. It had a pretty lively message | board at times, as I recall. I don't whatever became of | Chris, but his parents still live in Bolingbrook. | Another site worth mentioning is Jay's Place (708-759- | 7302), which was also in Bolingbrook, also run by a kid, | whose name was Jason Jordan, and went by Jay. I remember | giving him several dozen floppies of text files for the | site when he rode his bike over to my parents' house one | summer. He would go on and become one of the best tuba | players in the state and got a scholarship to Eastern | Illinois University. Don't know where he is now. I love | this site. It's brought back so many memories from my | mis-spent youth. There were months when I racked up some | hefty phone bills calling BBS's all over the state.

I ran Bloom County BBS in Champaign from 1986 | until my graduation from the University of Illinois in | 1987. After 1987 I was working hard, paying my dues as a | computer consultant and was not able to run a BBS for a | while because I was apartment hopping. I finally bought a | house in 1990 and was able to setup Magrathea BBS, this | time using the PC-based Remote Access software and | joining FidoNet. I ran the BBS for over 7 years, gaining | a popular Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy following, and | becoming a ChicagoLand distribution hub for FidoNet, | sharing the messages and costs so that others could enjoy | all of the FidoNet message forums. Around 1997, after | watching the declining interest in BBS's due to the | rising popularity of FidoNet, I finally decided to call | it quits, ending a 15 year SySop career. Today, I have | my own consulting firm, and maintain our website at | www.integralcorp.com. I am eagerly watching the evolution | of new BBS type software, such as that as EZBoard.com | that is bringing back some much needed sense of community | that BBS's used to have, but the Internet did not." - Sun | Kwok --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 708-759-7953 | Suzie's Place, Suzie’s Place | Chicago, IL (1992-1993 ) SOFTWARE | ZXOT

Will | ran the BBS on a Commodore 64 under the C-Net software | until it was bought out by IMAGE, and the system later | upgraded to IMAGE 2.0. Gregg began learning more about | computers, and assisted with the administration of the | system from approximately 1990 to 1996. The Suburban | Commodore Users' Group disbanded, and Will retained the | BBS and continued to run it out of his own pocket. The | BBS was converted to the CARMA (Chicago Area Radio | Monitoring Association, www.carmachicago.com) main | bulletin board system sometime in 1993-1994. During this | transition, the Commodore 64 platform was abandoned in | favor of the IBM PC. MAJOR BBS software was utilized on | a 486SX2/66 with a 340MB hard drive, and 15" SVGA | monitor. CARMA BBS eventually had Internet E-Mail | connectivity via UUCP.

I run a bbs prior to Oracomm on | my Commodore 64. I still have that computer, drive and | printer! I want to say that phone number was 789-3966 but | I cant recall if it was area code 708 or 630.
