    Found (legally free) here.

    An awesome game set in 1988. You're cast as an average BBS user who explores the Internet - pre-world-wide-web. You log onto the local bulletin board and find yourself rapidly embroiled in a conspiracy.

    Perhaps my favourite part of the game comes from the unique way you communicate with others in the game. The game doesn't allow you to read your own replies/messages. This leaves you with only one side of the conversation (theirs) and you have to fill in your side of the conversation.

    IMHO, it's a fun, short game that excellently uses a minimalistic style to further an engaging story. Give it a try.

    I remember finding it a few months ago.

    Short, interesting story that I enjoyed. Some of the controls can be a bit bothersome, but maybe that's just a part of the whole "1988 BBS user" thing.
