Ok, this isn't exactly about TW and its only in the Smack Area because I didn't know where else to post it!

Question: Is there any program that would basically be just like a BBS door where you can list the games you have available. Say you wanted to offer games like, TW, LORD, BRE, Exitilus etc. But you wanted people to be able to telnet into a Door listing all the games (just like on a BBS) but without the BBS!! Then they just type the number or letter of the game they want to play and in they go! This is probably a stupid question but I am just curious! I used to run a WWIV BBS, would like to offer all the games I used to have on my BBS, but I don't want to setup the BBS again, Just the games!

Nothing like this, but you can hull a bbs package down to it where it's nearly at this stage.

I suggested to jp a LONG time ago that he make the TWGS something that would run traditional door games (allowing for Tradewars, and tons of other stuff) but I guess he didnt like the idea.

Yeah just take a bbs package and disable as much crap on it as possible.

I read in an article/interview he gave that he would like to do this in the future. Here is the link:
