Amiga Hack & Slash (BBS)
The portly man with the bulging coin purse approaches with his two strong, but inexperienced-looking bodyguards. Without so much as extending his hand, he speaks.
"So ye think ye want to be an adventurer, eh?" After scanning you over, he continues. "Certainly don't look the type, all sissified and soft. Ye'll be running for yer wetnurse soon enough, I'll warrant. But if ye want to play with the big boys, ye've come to the right place. Ye want to be rich, famous, an' powerful like the rest, don't ye? Aye, else ye wouldn't be here.
Well, don't be thinkin' this is a cakewalk. Ye'll be payin' yer dues, and there's plenty of 'em to be paid. By the way, me name's Joe Mollicone. Ye can call me 'Sir', or 'Mr. Mollicone', or simply 'Taxman', that's what I does here, but don't let me catch ye badmouthin' me behind me back."
As he turns to leave, he shouts behind him. "Personally, I don't think ye has what it takes. Best to run yer yellow butt back to where it came from."
RPGBBS Deluxe is basically a bulletin board built around a medieval role-playing atmosphere (or is it the other way around?). Though it has the standard BBS functions, such as a message base, file section, and e-mail, there are no online games. Instead, you LIVE the online game as you kill, rob from, brawl, and joust the other members to gain levels and fortune. The success of this game is dependent upon the users that play it. Your involvment will not only provide you with entertainment, but also shares your activity with the other players.
