1 year agoBeen looking for years for this board game I played back in the day. It worked with multi-line BBSes so people could play against each other in real time. The premise was basically the battle royale games of today - you’re in a forest, sneaking around, trying to kill the other people on it. There were computer NPCs, if no one else was online to play. It was all done via text, since it was dark, so you would get things like “You heard a sound from the west.” if someone was moving to the west, along with a room description. You got various weapons, pistols and the like. Movement was running, sneaking, normal walking etc, with different amounts of sound generated. The map was a grid.
Anyone happen to run across this one?
No, it was modern, guns and what not. It was running on a majorbbs, only ever saw it there. The grid was a set 20x20, you could run, walk, or sneak from section to section, like a2 to a3, like an excel sheet, with each cell having some description. It was similar to a mud but zero graphics, all text. Also static and relatively small. Like a protomud.
