https://legendreddragon.net/ is the main one

It's essetially or was essentially a proto-MMO, with dozens of people playing on a BBS.

For those of you that don't remember the 1990s, this was when one computer called another directly.

I used to run one myself, or at least Sysop it.

This game is fun AF, though the rules and swear filters may stymie you guys.

I am Jessrond there.

Also, if you do TELNET, Serion BBS is cool, but I am IP banned for behaving as I do here. (but not name-banned)
 
I found a nearby Telnet BBS during Covid and got really into LORD. Killed the dragon and looped through the game maybe a dozen times. When work started to get busy again and I didn't log in for a while, my character got deleted and I lost interest.

I was really too young to use BBS in its heyday. I was vaguely aware of their existence in the 1990s, because Apogee Shareware disks came with these big readme text catalouges that advertised their BBS, but by the time I got a computer with a modem around 1996 or 97 most people had moved to Usenet, IRC and even early forums, so I've never actually used a dial up BBS.

The Telnet BBS that still exist are still super fucking cool to explore, though. There are still people using them and you randomly find these little communities of like 20 dudes who have been hanging out on their little BBS for 30-40 years.

Wizard's Rainbow has some new games that the sysop made. Like you make a character and it'll autoplay in some alternate history Los Angeles or earthquake apocalypse
 
I remember some nerd running a server for YOSPOS and it was fun as hell for a couple of weeks while people gave a shit, but I couldn't tell you now what any of the games were.
