The BBS is Back!

The House of Lunduke BBS went live back in October of 2010 (closing in on 5 years ago) as my own, freely accessible, little shrine to BBS gaming — TradeWars, Legend of the Red Dragon… you know… the classics.

Over the years it has logged in tens of thousands of calls and eaten up countless hours of time that could have been spent not playing games.

Unfortunately, as with all good things, disaster struck.  And, the results of that disaster (coupled with my lack of spare time to fix up the BBS and get it running again), meant that the BBS has been offline for several months.  To say it has been a dark time in many BBS gamer’s lives would be an understatement.

As luck would have it, I finally had an afternoon with a little down time.  And the House of Lunduke BBS is, once again, alive and accepting connections.

TradeWars, LORD, LORD 2, Exitilus, DoorMUD, The Pit and BRE are all up and running.  And it is glorious.

The BBS server, once running on a tiny little EeePC 900 netbook, is now running entirely on a dedicated, quad core virtual machine located in a server farm far, far away from my clumsy feet.

You can connect to the BBS by telnet at bbs.lunduke.com or via a Flash-based terminal.  It’s all on the official BBS page.  Go there for the goodies.
