This used the Quake 1 engine, and allowed players to compete in a first
person shooter game for money with the winner taking the loser's money.
Each player had 9 different weapons at all times, there were no powerups
or extra weapons to be found, just kill opponents to win the game and
the money. When you frag someone they generate a coin and leave it on
the floor where they die - this coin doesn't come out of their pocket -
it gets created when they die - the person on the scene first gets to
pick up the coin - so not only do you have to kill the person you have
to rush over and get their coin before anyone kills you. Gamers could
choose to play in tournaments, death matches,
or a 1 on 1 battle. There were various levels of membership, some which
had a montly fee. Seems this didn't succeed in attracting investors from other
companies and better games to add to this system, so it died. |
