"I ran across this site somehow (not sure exactly, I was looking up information on Andrew Milner's RA sale, etc.) and figured I'd update you ;) I used to write a lot of ANSI based games for RA, QBBS, RBBS, Wildcat, etc. TriCards, Card Match, Hangman, Pyramid, etc. All in Pascal with DORINFO1.DEF access (LOL I can't believe I remember this!!)" - Ross Tracy

Leominster, Ma Vidiots Lair |
(1994-2003) Mike Olsen | GAP BBS |
"I started Vidiot's Lair BBS in 1994 originally located at Fort Devens, MA (near Ayer). When Fort Devens closed in 1996 it was moved to Leominster, MA. The BBS was shut down around the beginning of 2001. It ran on GAP BBS software. It had a decent sized file download library stored on a couple of CD changers that could be loaded with 6 CDs each and a number of Fidonet message forums, but the most popular activity for users was playing the online DOORS games such as Barren Realms Elite in multiple leagues with many other BBSes. I'm sure it was still listed in the Fidonet node list for some time after I shut the system down. With so many other BBSes shutting down at that time I didn't know anyone who was left to notify to remove the listing." - Mike Olsen

(2017) X/84 |
BBSes are a return to the past, just like our favorite time travel movie. BTTTFBBS is a playground for Linux and Python experiments. Features a dial-out modem (call out to dial-up BBSes or information services), some local and networked games, and whatever features the sysop feels like developing.
