  • New door games: NaClCON Arcade (15 classics live)

    From foodbark to All on Wed Apr 22 22:31:41 2026
    Fifteen classic BBS door games are now live on NaClCON.

    From the main menu, pick 'Games & Apps' (hotkey A) and go into
    'NaClCON Arcade'. Hotkey in, play, back out. Scores and characters
    persist on A-Net Online (game.a-net-online.lol) -- they're shared
    with anyone else playing these games across BBSes that pass through
    to A-Net, so you're entering a live multi-BBS leaderboard, not a
    sandbox of one.

    The lineup:

    LORD 4.08 Legend of the Red Dragon. The BBS RPG.
    Slay dragons, flirt with Violet, win Seth
    Able's original kingdom.
    NukeWars 3.8 Cold War strategy. Escalate and annihilate.
    Buccaneer Pirate trader/combat. Fantasy Caribbean.
    Darkness Darker-toned fantasy RPG.
    Netrunner Cyberpunk corporate espionage. Fits the
    hacker-con vibe.
    High Seas Age-of-sail naval combat and treasure.
    Synchronetris Tetris on the BBS. Networked high scores.
    OOKII (Omega) Operation Overkill II, Omega world.
    OOKII (Deathland) OOKII, Deathland world.
    Trade Wars 2002 The classic space-trading door.
    InterBBS universe.
    Drug Lord Street-economy sim.
    Video Poker What it says on the tin.
    The Clans (777) Multi-player fantasy RPG by Allen Ussher,
    modernized by Deuce. InterBBS on fsxNet
    777 X-League -- your char shares the world
    with every Clans player in the league.
    NetHack The classic roguelike, via A-Net.

    Plus Synchronet Minesweeper (local, graphical, mouse-aware) if you
    want a palate cleanser between dragon slayings.

    Credit: most of these doors are hosted by A-Net Online (https://a-net-online.lol/gameserver, sysop StingRay). They run
    a door hub with 450+ games; we rlogin into their server with the
    BBS tag -s-nacl. No local installs. Big thanks to StingRay for
    keeping that hub alive.

    Dial in, ladder up, talk trash in the message boards.
