Oh well you had an ATARI so you could have had ATASCII. My first computer was a souped up version of the Atari 800 called the Atari 1200XL. One thing I recall is that those Atari people all hung together.
I think the bbs called Delphi (or something similar..it's late..so I'm a bit tired and it could have something else like Delphos..or something along that line).

ANYWAYS..the bbs in LA was the last dlx one I knew in the country that hung on till..oh I would say 2000 or maybe even into 2001 before they shut down.


Yeah..the "Atari people" hung together..against the big meanies called the "Commies!" (Commodore 64). So many people had the commie it was amazing..especially since it was the SLOWEST loading machine I'd EVER seen. We'd joke about like how we were half way through a game before the Commie would even load the same game. I STILL have my all time fav game from those days that I play on the atari emulator I have for the pc.

Ever hear of M.U.L.E.? THAT game ROCKED..ESPECIALLY for the 80s! On the old 800, you could hook up 4 joysticks and MULE could handle up to 4 players in one game. Had some marathon game times then. Oh..to be that young again!
