Title: Do you remember the old BBS RPG?
Post by: MikeonTV on October 16, 2007, 12:51:54 pm

I first got into the web around 1992-93 when a friend from school turned me on to BBS'ing. It was also around the time I got big on IRC. Well there was this text-based RPG that we played on some server. You would log in and continue the journey of going through forests. Building up your character and eventually heading into battle.

As what happens with all MMOG's that don't have a definite ending, the appeal wore off and I quit it. For the life of me I cannot remember what it was called. I distinctively remember a casino cabin that you would walk in and gable your gold that you earned.

Does this ring any bells?

I didn't read the whole post, but.... Legend of the Red Dragon (LoRD)?

I actually found it on wikipedia myself. Brings back tons of old memories. Now I'm going to use the Wayback Machine at archive.org and look at my old N64 website from grade 8!

So was LoRD the right game?
