BBS Crash: The Hacker's Playground

BBS Crash is a chaotic and entertaining door game where players take on the role of a rogue user aiming to crash and sabotage virtual BBSes. The goal is to rise through the ranks as a notorious hacker, exploiting weaknesses, attacking rival boards, and defending against retaliation.

Gameplay Overview

In BBS Crash, players navigate the underground world of virtual sabotage. Success comes from hacking into other users' accounts, spreading viruses, and crashing competing boards to establish dominance. The game is filled with humor, randomness, and intense rivalries.

How to Play

  • Upgrade Your Skills – Improve your hacking tools and techniques to increase the success rate of your attacks.
  • Target Rival BBSes – Choose from a list of competing boards to crash, causing disruptions and gaining reputation points.
  • Hack Users – Steal resources and wreak havoc by hacking into other users' accounts, gathering valuable data to fuel further attacks.
  • Defend Against Retaliation – Fortify your defences to prevent other players from crashing your systems in return.

Winning the Game

Victory in BBS Crash comes from achieving the highest hacker rank by causing the most damage to rival boards while protecting your own resources. Players must balance offensive tactics with defensive strategies to stay ahead of the competition.

BBS Crash offers a fun, mischievous twist on the classic BBS door game genre, appealing to players who enjoy competition and light-hearted sabotage. It’s a nostalgic throwback to the digital prank wars of the early BBS days.

Galactic Warzone: A Classic BBS Door Game


Galactic Warzone is a competitive, text-based multiplayer strategy game that was a staple on many BBSes during the golden age of door games. Players assume the role of galactic commanders vying for control of star systems through resource management, military expansion, and diplomacy.


Gameplay Overview


The objective in Galactic Warzone is to build and expand your empire by colonizing planets, developing fleets, and engaging in battles with rival players. The game progresses in turns, with each player receiving a set number of turns per day, encouraging consistent logins and strategic planning over time.


How to Play


Resource Gathering – Start by purchasing / trading resources from ports and your planets to fund your empire's growth. Resources are essential for building ships, developing infrastructure, and expanding your fleet.


Fleet Building – Construct various types of mines, spacecraft and other devices to defend your territory and launch offensive campaigns. Balancing fleet size with available resources is crucial.


Exploration and Expansion – Explore new sectors to colonize unclaimed planets or conquer planets from other players.


Combat and Diplomacy – Engage in battles to weaken opponents and secure new territories. Forming alliances (Teams) can provide protection and shared benefits.


Winning the Game


Victory often comes through a combination of military dominance, economic strength, and diplomatic savvy. Players must carefully manage resources, form alliances, and engage in calculated warfare to emerge as the most powerful commander in the galaxy.


Galactic Warzone remains a cherished memory for retro gaming enthusiasts and can still be experienced on ours and other modern BBSes. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, the game's blend of strategy and competition offers endless entertainment.
