I sorta remember Earth: 2025 and Utopia being a bit like that. You’d generate turns over time and login once or twice a day to spend the turns. Not sure if that’s exactly what you meant by BBS though, and the only ones I know offhand I think were all late 90s starts.
Comment on Great games you would recommend from before 1990?

Anyone remember the BBS “turn based” games?
I don’t even remember the names, but you would login every day to play your turn. Resource allocation based.
There was a drag car racing one and a space one that I remember.

I meant actual BBS, in the mid eighties. You would dial into on a phone line using your 300 buad modem. Lol
The “game” was text based and hosted on the BBS server.

My favorite BBS door games were Trade Wars and Usurper. I played way too much of them and they were part of what drove me to host my own BBS.
