“I’ve returned!” 🙈

Oddly enough I ran a BBS back in the day. it was called The CURE. (not named after the band - but in response to 2 other local BBS' namely "Shake the Disease" ESI HQ, The Asylum, and one other that I can't recall. ). The Cure was a world headquarters for a few US importing groups during the peak of the c64 scene. Back when ESI, Fairlight and ATC, HOTLINE, and other groups were actively releasing all the best C64 games. In any case. Good to see that there are still some boards out there. I may have to check out this out with my MiSTer. I wonder if there are any Amiga boards up and running? You should look into using the MiSTer Amiga Core for a similar "Back in the day" video.

[@NewRetroAdventures]

Amazing, thanks for that. It must have been a wild and exciting time to be in the scene. I did come across a fair few Amiga boards when working on this video. I’m sure I’ll get round to doing a follow up at some point. Thanks for taking the time to reach out 👍

[@Velcropants]

This is super cool idea, never thought of going near BBS's with the Mister. Now I have to try it 👀

[@NewRetroAdventures]

Honestly my first time logging into a BBS was 2 days ago and I’m hooked. There’s so much creativity out there, such a wonderful experience.

[@roak4115]

Can You play rpgs online with others?

[@JeremyGilbrech]

Good stuff. I’ll have to find one that has Legend of the Red Dragon.

[@NewRetroAdventures]

Thanks. Dig around, there’s lots of old BBS being resurrected, I’m sure you’ll find what your looking for 👍
