    We've been talking about Duke3D on 2oFB - you should come by and drop your knowledge; I am very happy to have a great community of folks th WANT to create new meetups with all sorts of retro games and servers come by and get in the discussion!!

    :) Just did... We'll talk there.


    Cool, Doom meetup! I've been off BBS's for a while, but I'll be keen on jumping in on this. I do consider myself pretty good at this game.

    I'd forgotten how fast-paced DOOM deathmatches are! I can only play for
    around 10 minutes now. Back when it first came out, I'd play 6 player deathmatches for an hour or two after work.



    ... Where are we now?

    We hope you'll come joing us on 6/1/2024 - you can find infoz @ 2oFB BBS in the DOOM Menu; 20ForBeers.com:1337, but its fairly easy... just make sure you have Zandronum [current day DOOM client] and Doomseeker [current day netplay server client] installed. doom2.wad in the Zandronum .config folder, and search on Doomseeker for "20 FOR BEERS".

    We have a great time w/ around 25 players each month.. 6 active players at a time - last month there were some non-BBS players that came in, so we need m0re BBS r0ckstars....

    I hope to see you on June 1st, borax!

    I'll try to join. I have a meeting during the day, but I may be able to. Depends on the time difference, I'm in Australia so I'll have to make sure I take into account the time difference!

    I used to play with friends, in person. They'd come bring their machines and we'd rock on with 3 or 4 players.

    The DOOM meetups have been great (even for us who only got a chance to drop in for a few minutes). Since the server is online the rest of the month also, there's opportunity to check out the maps and play against bots or even setup some player vs player matches. If you end up unable to make it to the DOOM match, don't give up hope! :)

    In-person DOOM matches were always a blast, hard to ever beat those times! The modern online matches at least bring back some of that charm. :)
