Wow you suck.

We have a Winner! SilentPanda, CONGRATS!

Lunatic Fringe

An After Dark module I discovered in 5th grade when I noticed one of the screen savers was a list of High Scores with "hit capslock to play", so I did, and thats how I spent my 5th grade time, playing Lunatic Fringe.


play Lunatic Fringe in Classic mode! (http://www.sealiesoftware.com/fringe/)

since someone guessed this one so quick. Ill start round 3 and a half.

Good guess, but not this round.

That game is NetTrek, not to be confused with the popular underground multi-platform game Netrek. The Macintosh game, NetTrek had a similar preface but was much less complex. Basically, you piloted a ship and would battle other players over Appletalk. You could be Human, Klingon, or Gorn, if I remember correctly.

I used to bring a group of buddies into the computer lab at school, each of us armed with a floppy disk with the game, and we would have ourselves a battle. Of course, it drove the others crazy seeing us having so much fun while they were writing papers etc. and if we forgot to bring headphones, man those phasers were loud!

Darn.. that was one of the first multi-player games I played, I should have remembered that one..
