TradeWars 2002. The game that redefined BBS doors. The game that singlehandedly buried Yankee Trader. The game that forced BBSes to get a second phone line, which you couldn’t afford because you were barely able to pay for the first phone line with the proceeds from your extremely dangerous rural bike-based paper route… one time wiping out on the blind downside of a hill in the middle of the road on a sheet of black ice, surviving only because it was 10 degrees outside and the sun was just rising — it’s 6 am on a sunday — and no sane person was awake and driving. Oh those were the days.
Phil set up a game, and you don’t have to upload files or post messages to get credits, or tie up your parents’ phone line.
