Text Game BBS

Well, the GobblerNet Classic Games BBS is a reality. Right now it's a poor
cousin to what Mr. Rogers BBS once was, but over time I'll build it up. I've
got maybe 200 text games out there right now and of course I'm adding more
every day. I've plundered gmd.de as well as digging through my own fairly
large collection.

The Scott Adams games can be played on-line, but I'm not comfortable with
providing them for download due to unclear copyright situations. I'm looking
into on-line Infocom games but this appears legally thorny and may not
happen.

I also have one of the few dial-in BBS "muds" although right now it's very
small due to lack of time!

I know GobblerNet doesn't offer much to folks with free Internet access. But
be kind and spread the word to others if you would. There really should be
a couple of text games BBSs in the world, I think!

GobblerNet is at 701-222-0429 in beautiful Bismarck, North Dakota.
8n1, speeds to 14400/v.32, vt100 emulation; a Linux-based BBS.
Totally free; no contributions asked or accepted; no download ratios.
