vzx
A bulletin board system spread across the world, with door games old and new.
Auto takes the site with the best round trip from here. Leave the handle empty, or enter new, to sign up or log in at the board's own prompt.
What vzx is
vzx is a BBS, the dial-up bulletin board brought back over the internet, run as one board on nodes around the world. Wherever you call in, you are on the same board, with the same account, chat and games.
- Call from this page, or with SSH, telnet or RLogin from a terminal such as SyncTERM. Over SSH, log in as new to sign up.
- Door games: classic DOS doors such as Barren Realms Elite run as they always did, Amiga doors too, and new games made for vzx draw in 24-bit colour, sixel or kitty graphics where your terminal can.
- Each game's world is shared, so you play the same world from whichever node you call.
- Nodes are updated while you are on them: the front holding your connection keeps it while the node restarts, and you carry on where you were.
