Stellar Crisis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stellar Crisis is a free, browser-based war game, which made its appearance approximately February 1993, making it the first known multi-player strategy game on the web.
[edit] History
Created originally by Sylvan W. Clebsch, Stellar Crisis has since been modified by many other programmers. PC Gamer reviewed the game in their March 1996 issue saying, "Stellar Crisis is a remarkable galactic conquest game playable over the Web." It currently has seven operating servers, many of which host slightly different versions of the game. Currently a project is forming that will attempt to merge all existing versions and their different and unique featuers into Stellar Crisis v 4.0 and make that version available as open source.
[edit] Game play
Stellar Crisis is a turn based strategy game played on a two dimensional grid. Game play involves exploring new planets, colonizing, researching technologies, and combat. Despite its science fiction setting the game is mostly abstract, resulting in comparison to traditional board games like chess.
