When I ran my BBS on Windows, one door game I was Tournament Trivia. I've since moved my BBS to Linux, and I haven't seen a Linux version of Tournament Trivia. I have some other trivia games installed now, but I'd be curious if there is a Linux port of Tournament Trivia?
The author of Tournament Trivia has released the source code (as well as a key generator with source) here: https://github.com/evanelias/tournament-trivia
It uses OpenDoors (a Windows BBS door game toolkit) as well as Windows.h (a C/C++ header file with some Windows definitions), so it looks like it might not be trivial to port to Linux. I could have a look into it, but I'm curious if anyone has already tried porting this door game to Linux?

Ah, that's good to know. I thought I had seen something in the documentation saying it was for Win32, but maybe in a different copy of OpenDoors I saw somewhere.

We used to have a Open Doors news letter that Scott Burkett published along with Brian Pirie and Mark Williamson. I wonder if any of these folks are still living and active in the BBS scene?
... so it should port to Linux fairly easily.
