Online since January 1984, (with minor deviations), the Boot Factory has been running in Richmond VA for years... first as an Atari 8-bit BBS (1984-88), next as a PC BBS running in Fidonet (from 1988-1996) and then back on an Atari 8-bit emulator (since 1999). We were an original beta tester for BBS:Express v1.0 back in 1986. Also home of the original 'BBS on a stick' back in 2008 with 2 different released stick systems; BBS:Express v1.0 and Carina v2.7... both Atari 8-bit systems running on the a800win emulator on a PC.

Originally began life on a Commodore Vic-20 in 1983 using modified Electric Magazine basic BBS software which was written and sold for the C=64. Ran Hal's BBS on the 64 for a while and then EBBS on the 128. Moved to my Amiga in 1986 and ran the following different software packages: BBS-PC!, Paragon, Starnet, MEBBSNet and finally Excelsior! Shut down in 1997 and reopened in 2018 using Excelsior! for a short time (has a y2k bug) and then moved to Zeus which it is currrently running. We have weekly chats every Saturday nite at 10pm EST. Join us if you can.
BBS devoted to classic door games like LORD, Usurper, TradeWars 2002, Yankee Trader, Operation Overkill, and a slew of others. Friendly and laid back. New callers always welcome.
