Isn't that the truth. To make it more interesting. Who hear remember the
day of BBB's, what version of WWIV (Renegade, or any other type)
of board you dialed into. We had shadowrun subs (even networked)
back in those days as well. The internet just expanded the scope a bit. :)

Indeed. I was round then... come onto the internest scene later though, after
the WWW was the defacto standard. I used to game via BBS's, mostly WWIV 3.21
and 4.02

Dammit! Now you've got me missing Legend of the Red Dragon! :) I still
have Telix 3 point something or other (3.15?). I even had some dinky
host program that came with Telix and had it set up for BBS use but never
used it.
