I remember Cyberspace BBS.  A friend of mine used that as an isp and
was heavily into one of the role-playing games on it.  I checked it
out a couple of times, but for the most part I was into the
Renegade-based BBSes in town.  I was a sysop for my high school's BBS,
"Full Spectrum".  Small world--er, city.
