LORD - Legend of the Red Dragon
Legend of the Red Dragon (commonly abbreviated as "LORD") remains one of the
best known and most popular BBS door games. LORD gained its popularity from
its simple, pick-up-and-play design that distilled a fantasy RPG down to its
most basic elements: repetitive combat, leveling, and equipment upgrades.
Add to that a teenage-level depiction of sexuality (courting and potentially
marrying Violet), chance events that bring a gambling-like thrill to the
action, and a dose of humor, and you have a classic. LORD innovated by
linking up with third-party software modules, allowing site-based
customization that enabled the title to remain fresh over the decades.
