Hey All,

I am new to the forum. My brother and I used to run a Macintosh bulletin board system back in the early 90's. We started it on a Mac Plus using Second Sight software. From there, we moved to a IIci. There was a door game called Battlefield we used to have which we really enjoyed. It was written by Greg Shaw. I actually dug out the old Mac Plus the other day, however I couldn't find out old 20mb Hard Drive. I couldn't locate Second Sight, but I found an old copy of Red Ryder Host on ebay. For nostolgia sake, I loaded it up. I also found two disc images of BBS in a Box shareware CD's on Macintosh Garden. They had the Battlefield door game on them. I am going to load it, but I remember that if you didn't register it with Greg Shaw, it would uninstall in 2 weeks. No big deal, but my brother and I actually did save up for weeks to send him 35 dollars to register it like 20 years ago. I can't find him online though. Anyone heard of him or have any insight? Thanks!
