MAX'S BBS Doors

MAX’s BBS was very popular dial-up bulletin board software largely in use before the internet became so ubiquitous. Bulletin Boards were online services accessed via a telephone number using a modem. The user was presented with a menu system based around ANSI or occasionally RIP graphics and could download files, play games, read mail or chat with other users. For a more in depth explanation see the BBS definition on Wikipedia. During the 90s I ran a BBS called “The Jelly Zone” which originally ran on MAX’s BBS but later changed to running Zeus. In that time I wrote several doors for MAX’s to extend its functionality. Most of the doors are written in Amiga E or AMOS Basic. I wrote many more than are presented here, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately!) they’ve suffered from bit-rot and vanished.
