I remember the back ad for Savage Sword of Conan in the 80s and even 90s was a play by mail RPG called “Hyperborian Wars” or something. I never joined because it was super expensive at about $8/month for monthly mailings with adventures.

Is this "Hyborian War"? http://www.reality.com/hwprul1.htm

Yes, that’s it. It was actually and ancient program and I remember finally playing a mud version once I got to college.

Those were awesome games. I remember them too. :)
