Are you k-rad enough to remember this game?

And if not L.O.R.D. in particular, BBS door games in general? Discuss your experiences with the first-wave of multiplayer IIRC.

My users' favorites were Legend of the Red Dragon, Barren Realms Elite, and Tradewars 2002. Almost nothing else got played regularly even though I ran about 30 games.

Or this?

I'm curious about other, less popular door games (everyone seems to talk mainly about LORD and TW2000).

I ran this one, version .998. 32 participating users rated it 12/20 overall, 4/5 graphics.

I don't actually recall anything about that game, this is just data from a poll conducted on August 22, 1994. (The shame of data hoarding...)

High-rated games in this poll, besides the three already mentioned: Melee 2.00 beta (16/20), Arrowbridge AD&D (17/20), Usurper (18/20), Mechwars 1.9 (16/20), Land of Devastation (19/20), and Wizard's Arena (19/20). Low scores: King of the Board (8/20), Barney Splat (10/20), Dark Castle (5/20), and BBS Putt-Putt (10/20)
