  • BBS in South Africa

    From BBS ( /u/Steco777 https://www.reddit.com/user/Steco777 ) to All on Fri Jan 30 17:37:28 2026

    In the late 80s early 90s my friend had a 1200bps modem and had a bbs called Mirror bbs . It was really cool when I was sysop chatting to people
    There were around 40 BBs'es in South Africa in its peak around 1991 - 94 . One that really stood out was the Vortex as you could download top games like test drive , leisure suit Larry etc .
    What a great time to be alive and seen how technology evolves.
    Does anyone remember any others from South Africa ? submitted by /u/Steco777 [link] [comments]
