    Cool. I doubt the "Games" on there are traditional door games, but still looks cool.

    they were fine.
    i'm just past being interested in this stuff.

    Especially ones written in something like Java that can be used on any OS/BBS.

    I don't recall ever seeing a door game written in Java. Have you?

    Not that i can think of. Just saying that since Java seems to be the universal programing language that it would make sense. Then you would have to compile the same program for multiple platforms.

    How am I supposed to run a Java door game on a generic bbs?

    Should be the same as any other door. The only real difference would be that the game would be independent of the OS you're running the BBS on.

    That's just a marketing line. Java is not truly universal: not all platforms have a supporting Java VM.

    Then you would have to compile the same program for multiple platforms.

    Yup, that's how doorgames are normally done.
