Are you a magic user, a thief or a warrior? Be the first to defeat the legendary Red Dragon and impress all your friends. Live the legend, play LORD now!
You wake up early, strap your sword to your back, and head out to the Town Square seeking adventure, fame, and honor. You have always wanted to explain the unexplainable. To understand the powerful forces that rule the earth. To tame the beast that oversees all things. Of course, having the power to burn someone by making a gesture wouldn't hurt.

As a follow-up to Legend of the Red Dragon, no one was expecting such a radical departure in approach and style as they got in New World. A massive world map permits movement between numerous cities and regions and involvement in their respective political intrigues (and outright military campaigns!) against each other; alternately, a player wishing to fish on the end of the dock or collect berries for mom to bake into pie can happily play on that scale as long as they like.
There's no shortage of quests and no lack of opportunities to increase experience through the slaying of random encounters. On the other hand if you prefer you can just sit around the tavern or picnic blanket and chew the fat with your buddies, exchanging comments and trading curious items acquired in your journeys.

The tenth best PC game ever, according to PCWorld Magazine! Trade Wars 2002 is a classic space trading game where the player is a trader in a galaxy with a fixed set of other players (either human or computer). The players seek to gain control of a limited set and amount of resources (specifically fuel ore, organics, and equipment) and travel through sectors of the galaxy trading them for money or undervalued resources.
Players use their wealth to upgrade their spaceship with better weapons and defenses and fight for control of planets and starbases.
NB: The Trade Wars 2002 is hosted by Brokedown Palace Reprise, and SysOp Shaggy who has generously allowed BBSlink to connect to it. It is of course dependent on the Trade Wars server running which BBSlink is unable to guarantee.

Saving a failing restaurant may sound like a peculiar premise for a game, but any skepticism is forgotten at this diversion's base recipe for its salvation: to raise enough capital ($5 million) to purchase Flaming Sheinen's grill outright, you must take to the streets and delegate the revenue-generation to a small army of ladies of the night, who you will manage toward optimal profitability. While it's a strange formula it's also a straightforward one - and it can't be denied that this game's lurid approach to supply-side economics is more titillating than your run-of-the-mill industry simulator.

Regal City had a problem. Thieves and vagrants owned the streets, tormenting honest merchants and ambushing visitors. And if that wasn't bad enough, those few honest citizens that could swing swords were teaming up into gangs of vigilantes, adding to the violence.
In a fit of desperation, King Reginald Hornbluff cleared out the dust and debris from the town square and constructed a huge arena. Then, he issued an invitation for the thieves and vigilantes to meet in the town square and settle their differences publicly. This appealed to the egos of both groups; they agreed to appear.
On the night of the big event, the stands were packed with innocent townspeople wanting revenge. King Hornbluff was not a stupid man, he charged the townspeople 3 gold pieces a head to watch the fight and sold sausages and beer at an outrageous markup.
The first battle between the thieves and the vigilantes was bloody, violent, and extremely profitable. So profitable in fact, Hornbluff scheduled a rematch. As time passed, the duels in the arena became more and more popular. Young men who would have turned to thievery now became gladiators, earning fame, glory, and no small amount of gold.
Hornbluff sent his men to capture monsters from the surrounding territory to challenge these warriors. After many years, Hornbluff added dungeons to keep all of his pets.
Today Regal City is a legend. Warriors come from all around for a chance at honor, glory, and a quick buck. Hornbluff's Arena, known simply as The Pit, features battles between some of the strangest and most powerful creatures in the land.
Rumor has it that even the Gods themselves will visit to smash foolish mortals wishing to challenge them.
These fights are profitable, but usually very short.
And that's where you come in: a lowly farmer's boy ready to seek his fortune in Regal City. You've done odd jobs along the way, sweeping stables and tending livestock, and you've saved every penny for a sword and armor once you get there.
Maybe one day you'll become one of the true legends, an Immortal. Or perhaps just a dark spot on the floor to be swept away with the sawdust.
Either way, it's in your hands.
