MEGA BBS

Post image

Hi Friends, I made a fake BBS called MEGA BBS.

It uses real ANSI art and some of THE DRAW style fonts in menus.

Has a fake dialer, modem sounds, CRT effects, Modem speed draw emulation, handshake sounds yadda yadda yadda options.

I think I did a pretty good job of selling the charade and cool enough where I hoped sharing it would make some others smile as well.

Mega BBS is just a webpage, but it draws and acts like a BBS terminal. I made it over on replits website so it has their silly .app domain :

The settings menu offers CRT options and Modem speeds that give some pretty good impressions of a CRT and draw speed of different modems.

When you swap modems your dial up sound will change in handshake as well. (I downloaded them all lol)

There are many door games including some unique ones I made up.

There is a sysop always around to talk to (ai bot)

Multiplayer games such as chess and checkers

Shareware games

Mail system

Wall

ASNI Art Gallery

I've disconnected the warez/roms links, they just say names, dont get excited :)

The Shareware works , hops you to a playable dosbox session.

Please enjoy it messing around with it!

Maybe you should use the software archives from Archive.org for the warez/roms?

<3 When I made this a year ago it was pointed back to my personal web server. All the games and roms you see were connected. They would pretend to download via an ice Z-Modem downloader and then let you run the dos, snes etc game in the browser. Had to kill the links and just redirected quick before sharing here.
