The first real-time graphical team game on the internet!
It requires both fast reflexes and strategy and there were international leagues as early as the 1990s. These days there aren't many players, however.
- sliken 4y agoHa, wow, forgot about this one. I played on a CMU server, which I was local to. The saying then was GPA - Rank (0-4) = 0. Office mate even hacked on netrek to enable a soccer like experience. Team play, fast respawn, and the game mechanics lead to some epic games. Having more planets meant more armies, but the last planet stands where everyone the defenders respawn where they are needed made for some amazing come backs. Saw a few players that were amazing with the star bases, allowing remote repair, using tractor beams and repulsors, and helping the team be more coordinated. Fun stuff, on the surface kind of like xpilot, but much more strategy and team work.
