I came across a game recently that I feel is one of the most original games I've ever seen.

Check it out at http://www.ufoot.org/liquidwar/
(you may need to use the mirror download links)

Damn you Ron, I've spent the whole afternoon playing LiquidWar when I should have been working! Sad

Go into the Team menu, and setup several human players, turn off the CPU player, and have fun with several people all banging on the keyboard at the same time.

Or should I setup a Liquid War server somewhere? Cool

It appears to have decent LAN support, I know I'm going to try it this week at work, since it's such a holiday-ish feeling at the moment. Smile

I don't think I want to imagine how awful this game would be with LAG. Mad

Pretty cool game, indeed. Not in the same league with Stars of course, but a pretty cool game if you only have a few minutes to play.

My wife LOVES it! She likes games that don't have a lot of complexity, so I figured she'd like it. She was hooked in no time. Laughing

I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Confused

Ummm, sure! Nod

I do FREESTYLE math.

It's horrid over the net. I've tried already... the lag is so bad you get maybe two ticks a second or so.

It's pretty hideous if you just netplay solo, even.

But with other humans at keyboard, it's damn fun.

New version v.5.6.0 out. Includes a LOT more maps, and a 'random map' button.

Damn you Ron! I have to write a new component onto a system as well as handing over another whole system before New Year. Have some consideration!
