This is a BBS by techno music freaks for fellow techno music freaks - a bunch of the regular posters were members of the Kansai underground techno scene, and there's a ton of music chatter here.

The CD itself doubles as a techno album with music by some of the posters, and I embedded a playlist with a bunch of music off the CD for you to listen to while you read.

I've *never* seen an offline BBS archive like this from back in the day that was designed for you to be able to use like this. This seems to have been a demo, designed for people who might want to consider joining.

We can't join it these 30 years later, but the fact it lets us try the BBS out like they wanted us to is incredibly cool. I'm so grateful this exists.

BTW take a peek at this logo - isn't this great? I love this slogan.

They've also got previews of a few other BBSs that were in the region, which is a really cool look at what kinds of collaboration and communication the different BBSs in the area had with each other. Plus this SimNaniwa map is *killer*. Really great 90s UI work and cute design.
