Helix, you didn't make the list. Or were you using another handle back then?

I didn't come back until 2005, when I played before it was during the transition from the BBS Door (single player online) to MBBS (multiple players online) I played with 4 other guys from Long Beach, CA and we were big fish in one small (tiny, tiny) pond, using procomm and qmodem.
