StarCraft + Molasses = OGame
I recently learned of OGame, OK, I was actually pestered into it.
Anyway, if you like non-interactive, non-real-time, non-Flash-based browser-based games then this one is for you.
It is exactly like StarCraft for the most part, and from what I remember. Only difference is, it is slower than molasses and requires you to hit F5 a hundred times per minute.
It is alright as far as games go. It has actually prompted me to dig out a book I was sent recently, “PHP Game Programming (1, 2)”. Which I actually heard is lacking severely.
Then again, I can think of quite a few nifty game ideas using Ajax and the theory of MMO.
Hrmm…
