    I'm not sure where the term doorgame originates but BBS games have
    been called "doors" since before I came on the scene.

    I guess when you select an option on a BBS menu it is similar to
    going through a door.


    i'm not sure where i saw this decades ago, but doors were referred to as 'doors to another world"

    For RPG and space games, that would certainly be appropriate.
