In order to bring the BBS online with a bit of fanfare, though, I've also conducted interviews with several of the developers who brought us these titles - Seth Robinson (Legend of the Red Dragon), John Pritchett (TradeWars), John Dailey (Dungeon Master), Amit Patel (Barren Realms Elite), Michael Preslar (LORD and LORD 2), and Scott Baker (Land of Devastation). It was a considerable amount of fun, a great learning experience, and something I've looked back on fondly despite the technological advancements that have come along since.Īnd so it's with much enthusiasm that I announce the launch of the GameBanshee BBS, which will serve as a place where a nostalgic itch can be scratched and for many of the classic role-playing and strategy titles of yesteryear to be preserved and enjoyed for what I hope will be many years to come.
Over two decades ago, pre-dating the explosion of the Internet and well before I ever started, I ran a small bulletin board system powered by WWIV in the rural community where I grew up that hosted all of the latest online games (mostly role-playing game doors) and shareware files.
