@kirkman I hope I didn't sound too gloomy and dire there... to a certain extent every article on any BBS- or textmode art-related topic is about a "doomed venture". Nostalgic hobbyists can of course chat about well-known and much-loved doomed ventures for hours and hours. It's just very interesting to see so much detail about this specific undertaking surface after so many years of obscurity (well, hiding in plain sight.)

@mistfunk Not at all. I have always been a sucker for underdog stories, and they often don't get the feel-good ending. Still, a lot of the BBS games I have written about over the years were, in fact, success stories -- TradeWars, Solar Realms Elite, etc.
