I mean, I did get at least Zork I to work with DoorWay and NetFOSS, but no
way in hell am I giving that to anyone aside from me. DOSBox has the
(supposed) ability to work with a BBS, and evidently people running
Synchronet have gotten it to work fairly easily. And the multiple users thing
I have sorted out. But I just thought it would be neat to let people play
old-school DOS text games, and in a DOSBox environment it looks pretty
secure. Anything they could possibly mess up would just get reset next time
it opens.
