Do you miss connecting to a BBS (or ANSI art)? You can find many still running today (via telnet instead of dial-up) at telnetbbsguide.com

Sierra On-Line’s 1986-90s Christmas e-Cards were digital gems you’d download from their BBS. Playable, musical, and festive—these free “mini tech demos” turned holiday cheer into Sierra history.
