Ah, the wastelands. Nostalgia blows through my mind, scattering tumbleweeds.
I've always had a soft spot for post-apocalyptic games in general (Wastelands, and later Fallout), and I remember playing OO back in the BBS days in the Utah scene. Back when my handle was "Dexter & Trask". (Utah is already something of a desolate wasteland anyway, maybe that's why I like the theme so much?) I was clueless, and I died a lot.
Anyway, it's good to see that the project is alive (or anyway not entirely dead). I've been on the black thursday game, but no one else seems to be active there (although people died and left all sorts of handy items and bases lying around...I'm so happy that somebody named a base "Outer Heaven", after Metal Gear)
These days it seems like there are more telnet BBSes than there are users...but a few recruits is all it takes to reach critical mass (to use a nuclear war metaphor).
