I never really knew about this back in the day, but it came across my feed and
I was like, those look like BBS graphics and I wonder if there's source code
online.  Anyways, long story short a few prompts to Codex and a bit of tug of
war, here we are a few days later with what seems to be a fairly decent port.

Basically it is like a CP437 game engine made by the dude who started Epic
Games, like Unreal engine, Fortnight and that stuff.  I didn't really do much
do it except add a shared high score server - and there's some experimental
sound support in it that is optional as well as ANSI music.  I didn't really
bundle many games except the original ones, but that's because there's like
literally thousands out there, I installed like probably 8000 games on my BBS.

Here's a short video not of the door game, but the original with fast cuts to
music - not my video, but if I bothered to make one that's how I'd drop it,
it's pretty much the same deal as it's just ASCII -

like.
