Yes, I had so many DOOR games, and Solar Realms Elite (SRE) and Baron Realms Elite (BRE) were the only ones that I enjoyed playing myself.
I liked how they were turn based (each user got X turns per day) and one player played at a time, but you were playing in a multi-player world against other people who would take their turns for the day.
I always thought it'd be interesting to do something similar in modern day, where you could take turns offline in a game (eg. in a subway or something, without internet access) and when you had online access, those turns were submitted against other people in the game. I wonder if there is anything like that?
RIP graphics were progress and a great innovation.
One of the power plays in those turned base games was to take your turn just before midnight and then take another one right away when then day ticked over. Useful for launching a surprise attack on someone without giving them a chance replenish their defenses. Phone lines were often busy at those times for this reason.
Of course, these days you'd probably be able to just buy an extra day for 500 gold coins...
