BBS and China Sea Trader
I am looking into BBS games to see what they're all about. I was never a part of that wacky world, the internet before it became the internet. I don't even know what I'm talking about. The wikipedia entry is helpful. Fascinating. BBS games are text games, but not graphically text-mode as such. Still, why not do something? I already made an allowance for Interactive Fiction. If I don't, who will? Do I care? These and other questions to be answered in due time.
Someone e-mailed about China Sea Trader. I googled that term in quotes, followed by the word 'game', and there it was on the second page. In BBS lingo, a 'door' is a way to communicate with an external program, commonly a game, thusly the term 'door game' is used. China Sea Trader is such a game.
