and posting here kinda feels like a game to me.

You are asking me about BBS games or videogames in general?

Videogames (PS4) GTAV Online / Red Dead Redemption 2 Online / Ghost of
Tsushima (Legends online) / Fallout 76 / The Division 2.

Door Games (in my BBS but playing interBSS) BBS Simulator & Virtual SysOp (so... it's seem that is not enough for me to be a real SysOp, and I need to play games where... I'm a virtual one :P).

I was playing Tradewars 2002 at net298.net. We had regular players and everything. Then the board had some sort of crash. They are trying to bring it back but I suspect my comercial Empire is not recoverable.

Other than that there are Rogue Games at rlgallery.org and Global War at BBSLink, accessible through havens.synchro.net among others.

Gotta try more door games. I like the ones with the Ansi art that emulate the 1st person D&D games.

One on Havens BBS, John Dilaney's Dungeon Master. I didn't play too deeply into it, but it was emaculate in the art department.

If you haven't tried Skyraiders, then you're missing out! It's a Korean War RPG

I highly doubt it. A friend owns a PS4 but I won't and never will. I wouldn't have any use for a game console.

Maybe once I get kids, but they'll probably be talking about the PSXIII or some shit like that.

What games you play in the PC? I got few, but fun as hell: Barotrauma & Phasmofobia (VERY good and VERY cheap on Steam) :)

I had consoles all the way up till the Xbox 360 across a lot of the platforms. Technically had a Wii U as well. I'm just strap for cash and don't see the utility in an console when I'm surrounded by computers that needs repair or upgrade for much cheaper that will get me much more utility. Example, I just got 16gb of RAM for my Thinkpad E545.

It's an excellent way to think my friend.
I still CANT'T believe the difference between a PS4 game bought in the PlayStation Store and the same game price in Steam for PC. It's much more cheaper (MUCH MORE) on Steam!

Valve can take the hit if it means that they're the number 1 platform. They're a loss leader like Wal-Mart.

And don't blame you, my friend. You love TWO game changers. Half-life being
the first game to use scripts... amazing.
