Submission + - Thieves' Guild: a BBS game with the best 1990s pixel graphics you've never seen 1
Kirkman14 writes: Thieves' Guild is a BBS door game for the Atari ST that came out in 1993. What made it unique was its graphical front-end client, which features dozens of eye-popping pixel art vignettes, along with simple animated sprites, sampled speech, and sound effects.
As a BBS door game (strike 1) for the Atari ST (strike 2), not many people played this game or saw its front-end in the 90s. But it's worth re-discovering.
The game was created by Paul Witte and Herb Flower who teamed up again in the early 2000s to produce the MMORPG "Linkrealms."
The Pascal source code for several versions of Thieves' Guild, including an unreleased 1995 port for PC BBSes, has been rescued and published on GitHub.

It's the mirror universe's Kingdom of Loathing. (Score:2)
The graphics are great, but very few people could use them in their time -- as opposed to KoL, where everyone can play with graphics on, but the graphics suck.
