I'll let you research       that.              Just google for "online java games" and go from there.              One place that I found worked really well is pogo.com. The last time i looked       at       it was over 5 years ago. Meanwhile, they've changed the service a bit, and       seems to support previously registered users only now.              This one is quick, and allows immediate play:               http://www.lutanho.net/stroke/online.html                      AA>>Many BBSes have fine DOOR GAMES. Would that fit the bill?               EV>He isn't a BBS User.              Sounds like he has a limited understanding of BBSes. Games on BBSes are       traditional, blocky, ascii, etc.. types. Some are based on animations, some       are       text-based like RPG's. But many are implemented quite nicely.                      EV>Years ago when This BBS (CCO) could be Dial'd-Up I gave him the        EV>phone number of the Prism BBS he could get on using Dial-Up.               EV>He used it for a while and didn't continue calling it.
