Yeah?  Ok.  But these doors have been around since the early '80s.  My point
and it still stands its nothing new and bbses have covered such ideas
before.  
When did you run a board?  What years?  Maybe you miss what we have today
very advanced doors/games.  Some of the closest to a pnp universe would
be Lore and Arrowbridge to name a few.

Yep...I dabbled on those text games (god I still remeber the first game I
played
on a mainframe was Star Wars back in '79? and they had it on the mainframes
up till about ....'89 I think.  Till they discovered the games and removed
them.
Yeah I remeber when it wasn't even called a Internet :)
