#WebGamesAdvent - Long before making #JavaScript games regularly for game jams, I made a few prototype games. The best one began as a continuation of a #BASIC game I had made called "The Forest", but was later renamed "Legend of the Green Hydra" as a nod to #LegendOfTheRedDragon.

There were always players on #LegendOfTheRedDragon who were so powerful that they used their fists as weapons and didn't bother sleeping in the inn (for protection). To this day, I have no idea how they managed that!

I remember writing a macro that would let me go through the forest and fight. I could just let that go and get my experience for the day.

Oh, and there was something about the #ANSIArt that I just loved.

Thanks to Mastodon for all of this tech #nostalgia!

I just remembered having so much fun calling up my local #BBS (shout out to the Inner Sanctum and the Eagle's Nest!) and playing games like #LegendOfTheRedDragon. Even the sound of the modem connecting was something special.

Until my mom would pick up the phone and I'd lose my connection, of course.

Young me wanted to be part of the #warez scene, but didn't have any warez to share. I got scolded by the BBS owner for uploading demos. :D
