The Serial Port’s new interview turns a piece of dial-up history into a preservation story. In its 9 October 2026 video, the channel visits the creator of PAROLE Software and discusses the PAROLE board, its BBS door games and the effort to keep that work accessible.
Door games were small programs that bulletin-board users launched from a BBS. Their history is easy to lose when the software, documentation and the people who ran it disappear. The interview is especially useful because it connects the surviving files with the person and system behind them, rather than treating them as anonymous downloads. The channel points viewers to the PAROLE Software Collection for further exploration.
This is a first-person historical account, not a claim that every recollection or earnings figure has been independently verified. Watch The Serial Port’s 19-minute interview for the full story.
