Legends of Future Past is a reconstructed and runnable server for a commercial text-based online multiplayer game originally created in 1992 and operated until December 31, 1999. The original engine source code is lost; this project reimplements the game using preserved script files, a GM manual, player documentation, a scripting reference, and 1990s session logs. The README states the world data is authentic and is not a reimagining from memory, now running on a new engine. The repository includes the new backend in engine/ and frontend in frontend/, plus original game data and documentation in original/. The backend uses Go with gorilla/mux and MongoDB, while the frontend uses React 19, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind 4. Setup instructions cover local development with Go, Node.js, and MongoDB, Google OAuth configuration, and deployment to Fly.io. The project is MIT-licensed and was reconstructed by Jon Radoff using Claude Code. A hosted playable version is available at lofp.metavert.io.
