A major use of doors is for door games: computer games played on the BBS. These games included strategy games such as TradeWars 2002, Solar Realms Elite, Space Dynasty, and Barren Realms Elite. There were also Role Playing Games, often derived from earlier email-based games. One such game was Seth Robinson's Legend of the Red Dragon.

Famous quotes containing the words door and/or games:
“You there, I here,
With just the door ajar
That oceans are,
And prayer,
And that pale sustenance,
Despair!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
