Online Multiplayer Games
There aren’t very many good and unique online games that support more than two players. I’ve searched the Internet a few times, and the results are dismal. Nevertheless, some do exist; I’ll share a few I feel worth some mention here.
The following are online games that support more than two players.
- Phosphor (Shockwave Flash) is a 3D FPS with decent graphics, multiplayer support, and workable gameplay. Not bad, except I had issues when I tried it with a few friends (spawning off map, unkillable players, etc.)
- ZWOK (Flash) is a tank game. Players choose their action and all the firing is done at the same time. You can’t play with just your friends though; you enter a match with random players.
- Street Fighter Online (Shockwave Flash) is an online version of Street Fighter.
- Stick Arena (Shockwave Flash) is a top view stick figure fighting game. It’s unbalanced unfortunately; get the right weapons and you’ll be the top.
- Conquerer (Flash) is a Risk style game. I haven’t played it myself, but it sounds interesting.
- Tank Ball (Shockwave Flash) 3D tank game. No rooms; everyone’s in the world at once. Exceptionally simple (and thus boring) gameplay.
- hanger 3 (Shockwave Flash) is 3D air/ground fighter game. It’s not completely free, and you need a large group for it to be truly somewhat exciting.
- hanger 2 (Shockwave Flash) is 3D FPS. I have not played it extensively.
- Monopoly (Shockwave Flash) is an online version of the board game Monopoly. I have not tried it.
- Sorry! (Shockwave Flash) is an online version of the board game Sorry!. I have not tried it.
- Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates (Java) is actually a MMO game, but it’s quick relatively and you can play it with friends. You solve puzzles to advance your rank. Great graphics!
- iSketch (Shockwave Flash) is a fun online version of Pictionary. There is a large number of wordlists, and the game works exceptionally well.
- Quantum Legacy (Shockwave Flash) is a an online RTS. It is fully 3D and well designed. The game is a very heavy on the system when loading and running though.
- Tank Mania (Flash) is a top view strategy tanks game. Fun for a while, but it gets old because the maps and game itself lack variety.
- Stellar Conflicts (Flash) is an MMO space game. You command a ship and navigate through space completing quests, trading, and battling. It’s mostly a temporary muse.
- Commando (Flash) lets two teams battle each other in a war environment. Only one map, laggy, and is mostly a temporary muse.
- Stellar Conflicts Outpost Command (Flash) is an online RTS supporting up to four players. It’s unique, but severely lacks features.
There are quite a few good two player ones (in fact, many). I have no reason to list all of them, so the following with be some which I find unique and fun in gameplay.
- Run n’ Roll (Flash) is an essentially-platformer game where you chase your opponents around the world while dodging obstacles!
