Legend of the Green Dragon

This is just too cool!!! For those of you who gew up BBS-ing, i’m sure you’ll remember ‘doors’ and one of the most famous ones was ‘Legend of the Red Dragon,’ aka LoRD. This (along with Tradewars 2000) consumed much of my online time back in the days of modems, when Internet access was gained by being a university student. Try it out! Play the game and get HOOKED!! A cool thing about this is they’ve rigged it to allow keybord commands, so you just keep pressing the ‘F’ key, rahter than having to click ‘fight’ with your mouse. Compleatly worth the time to check it out!

Here is some info from their ‘About’ page:

“Legend of the Green Dragon is a remake of and homage to the classic BBS Door game, Legend of the Red Dragon (aka LoRD) by Seth Able Robinson.”

“LoRD is now owned by Gameport (http://www.gameport.com/bbs/lord.html), and they retain exclusive rights to the LoRD name and game. That’s why all content in Legend of the Green Dragon is new, with only a very few nods to the original game, such as the buxom barmaid, Violet, and the handsome bard, Seth.”

“Although serious effort was made to preserve the original feel of the game, numerous departures were taken from the original game to enhance playability, and to adapt it to the web.”
