Purple Ocean
Purple Ocean was a bulletin board system (BBS) founded in June 1984 by system operator (SysOp) Dustin Malcom in Plano, Texas. These early BBS systems were typically run by individual users or small groups and were often hosted on personal computers in users’ homes or garages. They provided a space for users to share information and connect with others who shared their interests.
The Purple Ocean BBS was best known for its numerous gaming features including numerous different versions and scenarios of Trade Wars 1000, 2000, and 2002. At its peak, over 100 different Trade Wars universes were operated simultaneously with thousands of players logging on each day. The Purple Ocean BBS was also the first BBS in Texas to offer 38.4 kbit/s transfer rates for every node.
In the broader context of BBS history, Purple Ocean stood out as one of the largest North American gaming BBSs during the mid-1980s.
