What are you trying to say??
That I did the same thing you're doing. And then I decided it would be more fun to play with friends and have a living breathing world that went on about it's business whether I was connected to it or not.
It was a fun learning experience at the time and while DOS was not near as capable as it is today, it was still capable enough but I used a lot of downloaded utilities for the same kind of functionality that is native in cmd.exe today.
In the end though, C was a better language and telnet was a better platform for that kind of thing.
