Tim Stryker's technological achievements nearly eclipse his BBS work; at an early age he was already designing video games (like, full size arcade games like Aztarac) and created a networked game that worked cross-platform (Atari computers could play Commodore computers, and so on) called COMM-BAT for a company called Adventure International.

Stryker founded Galacticomm, and created a product in the form of a custom card that could run many modems off a single computer. To demonstrate the power of this card, he wrote some BBS software as an example.. and the software took off. Galacticomm's MajorBBS software became a hit, and Stryker had success along with it.

In the mid-1990s, he drifted away from technological pursuits to take on a much tougher problem: restoring the ideas of democracy, possibly with an engineering approach. He wrote a number of books about his ideas for improving voting methods and creating a better society, which he called "Superdemocracy". While his books did sell, his ideas did not take off, and he distanced himself away from his Florida company to live in Colorado.

In October 1996, Stryker committed suicide in the hills of Colorado. He left behind a wife and four children.
