Slowly working my way though the back archives and just listened to this episode.
Never did get into the BBS scene, not sure if there even was much of that over there. Did have a 28.8 baud modem for a while but we connected to the Internet already by then.
Did have an Amiga 500 with heaps of copied diskettes though and spend many an hour playing North and South. Did you know that game was based on a Belgian comic set set in the American Civil war? That’s why it’s so cartoony. It was called “The Bluecoats” in English (“Les Tuniques Bleues” originally) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Tuniques_Bleues
