If you dont want to setup your own door games - I have a door game server setup, for which you can use echickens door party connector to get into it.

I havent spent much time on it, but my idea was to offer access to the InterBBS games that networks run for those who dont want to run and manage their own door games.

Since its fairly new, I dont have many door games on there (40 or so?), but it is running GD from FSX. I have BRE/Falcons Eye on another network (and my BRE was registered from 1995, but not Falcon's Eye). I was going to research and find more door games...

Its been on my plan to get the other FSX InterBBS games loaded on there too - but I've been distracted by other things. If there was some interest, I could redirect my focus. :)

My door server is Synchronet on Windows (in a VM)
