Submit sites about door games. Sites about doors that aren't games will not be listed here, and should be submitted to Computers/Bulletin_Board_Systems/Software. |
Games intended to be run under Fidonet-era bulletin board software.They're called "doors" because they were separate programs that would run on the BBS host. Since machines didn't necessarily have multitasking capabilities, the main BBS program would "shell out" and start up the door program, which would then communicate with the user. When the door exited, the BBS software would start back up. Hence a door -- an excursion from the BBS to the outside world.

This does not include roleplaying games, strategy games, or simulation games which have there own category. It does however contains word games, puzzles and any other kind of game that can be played in chat or using message boards.Where possible, submit your site to an appropriate subcategory.

Play-by-mail gaming involves strategic or roleplaying games which are played via email or postal mail. Typcially each player will send his or her orders to the moderator, or GM, who will determine what happened in the game for the particular turn, and send updates to each player.Computer-moderated PBEM (play-by-email) gaming uses a computer program as the moderator instead of a human.
