I remember the fun days of CMBBS, C-Base, and later everyone making some nice BBS systems, it was cool to see what you could do with the Commodore Basic, BLITZing it up and hosting it. Some of the older BBS systems rival the features provided by communities today greatly. Then there was the continuous dialing up other regional boards over and over again until you got an answer.

There were some really nice games in the limited way of BBSing, a premonition of MMORPG's and other network strategy games that addict people today.
