We might not be able to get the multiplayer, but the door games should be preserved if not re-released somehow. But they were all text-based (color ASCII was the best they could do) and usually involved some amount of multiplayer.

Full Support for the majority of Modules compatible with The MajorBBS 6.25 through Worldgroup 2.Magic The Gathering Shandalar (by Microprose, 1997)ĭepending on how far back they want to go, there's also a whole untapped world of BBS door games they could release.Thanks to the support of the Open Source community, MBBSEmu has amassed an impressive list of features, including: This allows Modules to be hosted on any platform including Linux, OSX, Windows, and both Intel and ARM platforms thanks to MBBSEmu utilizing the latest version of Microsoft. MBBSEmu is a cross-platform emulator much like DOSBox, where not only the underlying hardware required to execute the modules (in this case, a 16-bit Intel 80286 CPU) is emulated, but also the host software as well. The MajorBBS Emulation Project was started in November 2019 with the primary goal of offering an easy, fast, and free way to enjoy The MajorBBS and Worldgroup Modules we all fondly remember. Many have fond memories of using Bulletin Board Systems to play games with their friends, but not many are nostalgic about going through the long technical process of setting up and running a BBS. While today it is still possible to install and configure The MajorBBS or Worldgroup inside a Virtual Machine, the effort and technical know-how required is a huge barrier for many people. MBBSEmu was created in order to lower the effort required to enjoy Games and Applications that were written for DOS versions of both The MajorBBS or Worldgroup on any modern operating system. Additionally, Sysops running Synchronet or Mystic can allow their users access to MajorBBS and Worldgroup Modules on any platform without having to run a Virtual Machine!

With MBBSEmu can play your favorite original, unmodified MajorBBS or Worldgroup Modules in your local console or over telnet without having to install and configure any Bulletin Board Software. The MajorBBS Emulation project is home to MBBSEmu, the world's first Open Source self-contained, cross-platform emulator for Galacticomm's The MajorBBS and Worldgroup Bulletin Board Software Add-ons.
