    I cannot for the life of me remember what our MUDD was, but I still remember our local BBS because it was called the Forbidden Playground. It was not some weird sex thing, just your normal early 90s BBS but that didn’t stop my mother from losing her mind when she saw the ASCII title banner though.

    The first picture I downloaded was a monochrome Batman logo bmp. A few years later someone found a 16 color one of Jenny McCarthy topless from Playboy and spent all night downloading it. We all had to stop by his house on the walk to school to check it out.

    Edit It was MajorMud. I found a relatively recent article where a guy researched the BBS some.

      That was my first one too! They only allowed so many commands per day (100?) unless you paid $15/mo

      Later I found the PvP MUDs and ended up playing a custom Godwars variant (Chaosium/Static Chaos) for years. I still know some of the people that I met in that game.
