  • Popular BBS doors

    From Nightfox@eric.oulashin@gmail.com to All on Wed May 14 09:32:18 2025
    I think it's interseting to see what BBS doors are still popular today. I've heard of some BBSes being connected to game servers now, but I still have door games set up to play directly on my BBS. Looking at my door stats web page, it looks like TradeWars 2002 is the most popular one by far; next are Land of Devastation, Legend of the Red Dragon, Operation: Overkill II, and a couple other instances of Legend of the Red Dragon. BBSLink (a hosted game server) is #4 on e list too.

    I've got an API that tracks the 10 most popular doors for DoorParty, and it's been running for about 5 months or so. Surprisingly, Zombie Slots is the most popular, followed by LORD, then BRE, Video Poker, Sunrise Blackjack, LOD, and others. It's not what I expected at all, but that's apparently what people like on DoorParty.

    it's funny because my #1 game on the board is "Yachtzee" which is a built-in simple game for Maximus :)
