I never knew what StG was, but could it be simulated in say, PHP or 
Perl?  I would think so, and a multiplayer version could be born with 
enough people involved or someone with the skills to pull it off.

My all-time favorite BBS game was no other than, Esterian Conquest.  I 
lived, eat, breathed E.C. for several years and battled it out once a day 
competing just to connect to the BBS for my one-allowed turned per 
day.  Luckily, I could set my modem to autodial until I connected.  That 
space war game pretty much lived in your  imagination because there were no 
graphics, but I think it did show a text-grid with characters representing 
fleets, planets, etc.
