What a trip it has been to discover OO has such a healthy online fan base!
When I was a wee lad of 12 or 13 I lived in Dallas and played OO and OOII on Dustin Nulf's original BBS. I loved the game so much that I ended up making some ANSI art that I mailed to Dustin and that he subsequently ended up using in the game. Recently, nearly two decades later, I went looking for the game online and found not only that it had survived, but my original art had survived with it!
Those who wanna read the details of the story might check out my blog at:

I can't want to start playing on the internet server! Thanks Tarix for providing this resource to those of us who knew and loved the game.
Cheers-
Sean
