Action, Sports, and Battle Games

These modules present a variety of fun and competitive games for your system. Ranging from ANSI or Client/Server graphics-based games to text-based realtime and turn-based games, any of these modules are sure to be a great addition to your system.

Battledroids

BattleDroids is a mechanized arena of the future where high tech war machines rule the battlefield, and death or glory are just a heartbeat away. BattleDroids is played on a roughly square battlefield five thousand 'hexes' across. Each hex is approximately one hundred meters across and is one location in the game. Any given location can contain buildings, droids (yours or another players) or one of many cyborg piloted droids. (Formerly Sean Ferrell/Sourceror's Guild).

Robowars II

A fun and exciting turn-based game, Robowars II allows your users to build their own battle-bot from the ground up - choosing armor, weaponry, power supply, and more. Then, they head into battle with CompuBots or with each other, hoping to avoid damage will collecting money to continually improve their robots. Strangely addicting, the program features a bank and some games of chance to improve (or harm!) players' financial positions. Bulk up and get ready, or you may find yourself ATOMIZED! (Formerly Moonshae Telecomm)

Androids!

For the DOS-based systems only, Androids! is a fast-paced realtime interactive multiplayer ANSI game where your character must collect as many points as possible as fast as possible, ramming your opponents when you can. Similar to FLASH! games, Androids provides top-threes for total points, and points per hour. (Formerly Galacticomm)

Space Wumpus

This is a fast paced game where users enter a playing field to begin battle. If a user enters by himself then he competes against 25 other computer players. In this game the users mode around and try to stomp each other before they get stomped. So if two users are side by side on the grid and the left user hits his right arrow key before the right user hits his left arrow key then he wins and continues to stomp other users. The stomped user is sent to a waiting room where he can talk to other players. (Formerly Wilderland Software)
