On January 4, 1994 Lord Steven was sitting in his bedroom bored. He decided to check out some BBS software he received. Two hours later The Mariah Carey Singing BBS went online running off of an Amiga 1200 with 2 MEG of RAM and 2 floppy drives.

Within a couple months, he added a 20 MEG hard drive and started online RPG's through message systems. This became the number one attraction on his BBS, and users flocked to the system. Games like X-Men, moderated by Benny R. Powell became the staple of the system. Other games to grace the system were Babylon 5, Cyberpunk, Worlds of Darkness, Vampire The Masquerade, D&D, Take Out!, Monty Python, Spaceballs, Star Wars, and Mekton Plus.

Throughout the next 3 years, hard drives were added, files uploaded, and names changed. First, the name became Emotions:TMCSBBS, then the final name took shape in zocalo:OnLine! This name reflected how dedicated the BBS had become towards Babylon 5. Harboring many Babylon 5 files, message echos, and the online RPG, the Babylon experience on this BBS was magnificent!

Though the BBS was primarily a Babylon 5 location, it also was the official BBS for the Tulsa Amiga Group, and reached out to other areas as well. The Remnant was a support area for Christians named so in reference to the prayerful people in Frank Perreti's "This Present Darkness." You will see parts of these throughout my home web page here, as I move on to reaching the world, instead of just Tulsa.

Finally, as people gathered together to play games like Star Wars RPG, Magic the Gathering, and Axis and Allies, the people from this BBS and their friend banded together to form what we now call, the z crew. The term z crew was actually coined about a year after we were meeting together by who we affectionately refer to as Honkee, otherwise known as Septimus Prime. Now we game from different states online while gathering together for live gaming sessions whenever possible.
