A multiplayer, text, third-person shooter originally made for DOS, but I know it from Novell Netware.

I had a hell of a lot of fun with it. Perhaps it’s nostalgia which makes me stay so fond of it, but I think the fundamental gameplay still holds up today. I could easily imagine a great updated version of this but I have and still do see this same gameplay in all sorts of other top-down games.

A website to help connect roleplayers and let them play over the internet.

Tries to be everything-in-one, and includes a tabletop engine that’s not too bad. Definitely needs improvements to everything everywhere, but it’s all good enough.

I started using it to play AD&D 5e

Shoot stuff and things.

I played the open beta. I found it fun, but not worth money. When I was given it for free a while later, I didn’t find it all that great.

Has graphics reminiscent of Sanctum 2 – (2013 game).
Overwatch 2 – While it has PvE to some degree, the full talent trees and upgrades concept will not be implemented. (source)

A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.

I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.

This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A zombie-survival first person shooter that I played the hell out of until late-2015. It still had a very active player base.

A 2.5D hack-and-slash combat-roleplaying game.

I played a bit of this a while back, maybe early/mid-2015. I liked it, but I moved on to other things.

was robocraftgame.com (might actually still be up for a while longer, but it’s had spotty hosting issues)

Build and fight with robot vehicles.

I played a bit of it, and it was interesting but didn’t really do it for me.

They won’t stop spamming me. Their mailing list unsubscription doesn’t work for me.

Balloons threaten monkeys, and you coordinate their defence.

I’m big on tower defence games, and this is a very good one.

The Flash version is liked. The Steam version is disliked. Maybe the more adult multiplay on the Steam version would make it worth some money, but not at its price.

The differences between the Flash and Steam versions

A space-western-esque MMORPG whose most interesting elements are movement in combat and a light/comedic tone. Oh, and player housing for the girls.

Meh. Just meh. I gave this a good shot, but the gameplay and interface are just shit.

I got to level 10. TEN and gave up. It was quite fun until I did a dungeon. I was told to keep playing until I did one, and .. well.. it failed miserably.

A great MMORPG with spectacular mechanics but no endgame.

I had a lot of fun with it way back when, but my most recent visit had me wandering around in circles for an inexcusable length of time. An utter failure. Still highly recommended.
