Telehack Wiki

Welcome to the Telehack Wiki

Telehack.com is a nostalgic text-based web and telnet game that simulates the internet and BBSs of the 80s and early 90s. Hack into servers, read old text files, browse the Usenet, and chat with friends using many of the same commands you would have used in the 1980's - 1990's.
