Googled BBS games and it's not what I thought.



In chinese forums I used to lerk on there was like a mini-game thing where each user can duel other users and their scores are their HP points, and there are skills and such they can buy. Is that what you meant? Or you meant the type of stuff shown in the picture?

No BBS games were text-based games that I used to play. Brandon used to play them too!

@liang - You should post your list of games.

Has anything in life lived up to the thrill or approaching a roadblock when you're already 7 minutes into the police chase? Knowing that you only have split seconds to pick the correct route through or ruin whole chase?

Such literacy

For my the most fresh memory is when I start a race wrong and destroy the following keys on my keyboard
ESC -> Down, down (to restart race) -> Enter

I grew up on Atari 2600 and playing ASCII games on early PCs. Games have sure come a long way, but I still like to dig out a classic from time to time.

Did you play BBS games by any chance?

I don't really recall them in too much detail at this point so it is hard to say. I think the first game I remember playing on PC was ZZT and playing the original WarCraft. I have also managed to find Dungon Keeper, which I remember playing extensively back on my first PC.

If I remember, I was not exactly allowed to use the internet (dial-up) at that time to play games so everything was local play only. It wasn't until much later before I played online games.

My first PC game was Red Alert 1. Man those were the good times.
