Yes, they'd enjoy watching me play CoD or one of the Zelda games, but at the end of the day, I wasn't spending time with them.īBS doors have their advantages. Here is a place to post tools that help in the creation of SoM games. I remember sitting in the living room with my wife and children wandering around annoyed that I was playing video games. The hardest part of gaming is taking time away from the family. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
^^THIS^^ is how we should be marketing our systems!!!!įurmens Folly (FIDO 1:123/257) - telnet: :23īefore the Web - telnet: :23232 There isn't much of that going on in the gaming world today, either you play when your friends play (thus making sacrifices in your personal life) or you play single player (thus missing out on the social aspect). You log in, take your turns, log out, come back later and repeat.
I mean when I was younger and could afford to waste my days away with countless hours of Everquest or WOW it was fine but as an adult with a full time job and a wife and generally a life outside of video games if you want to play some multiplayer games at 6am while you're sipping coffee then BBS Doors fit the bill. Do you remember calling Bulleting Board Systems (BBS for short) back in the day The internet slowly ate away at the BBS userbase, with Email/Usenet/Web based bulletin boards replacing the need for message areas and message networks like Fidonet, and FTP servers replacing the need for file areas, it's fair to say BBSing isn't what it used to be.
To be fair, most of my users were there for the door games so given the choice between LORD or Breath of the Wild I know which one I'd choose.īBS Door games offer a unique experience rarely seen in other corners of the gaming world and that is a multi-player experience which is asynchronous (that is you don't have to be online at the same time as the other people you're playing with).
