Much later than these, but I remember quite fondly all the DOOR BBS RPGs and games on our local BBSes in the mid 90s. I would come home from school, grab the really long phone cable coiled up, and run it across the house to the kitchen so I could log on.

I absolutely loved DOOR games like Exitilus and Legend of the Red Dragon.
I'd written a couple of door games and shareware door software myself in Turkey. I had even developed my own door software engine on Turbo Pascal called OpenDoor :) Fun times.
I loved BBS games. I called multiple BBSes daily to play LoRD and a few other games. I ran a BBS in high school during the late 90's with LoRD and a handful of IGMs.
