Remember when we all went NukeZone crazy? And by we I mean I and by crazy I mean played a hundred hours a week and started a OT zerg into the game that was only mollified when we offered to host all of his images in america for him.
Wee I've tried the gamut of web games. Puzzle Pirates is pretty slick but...well...it just ain't my cup 'o grog. Daniel James dressed up as a peerat is the gig though so if you haven't checked it out, please do. Bang Howdy is a nice romp as well, that's their western puzzle game. I got many a weird look when I was playing that instead of working you can be sure but hey, inspiratino comes from many places, Even Raph's poetry. You tell anyone I said that, you die.
So then web games. Well, Tribal Wars haas a nice sorta MMO meets early RTS meets PBM feel to it. It still doesn't quite capture the sheer destructino one can get frmo NukeZone. I've also played a few others and the best of them really just left me with the feeling that I'd been penetrated by nasty Russian porn viruses. Not that I mind that sort of thing...
Then comes along the legend, the man himself, the maker of all things Car Wars, Steve Jackson. Ahh. It's like mana from heaven really. Did you know that Bloo once wrote a book for the man? Some Gurps - Traveller stuff. Too brainy for me.
Anyhoo, this new game of his called Ultra Corps looks like the business. To me, this is the meta game that layered on top of EVE would actually make it my game for life. Check it out.

Thanks. I'll check this out tonight at work. I just recently started playing Black Nova Trader on a friend's server. http://sourceforge.net/projects/blacknova
Sounds extremely similar, but BNT isn't "massively multiplayer", it's just a bunch of people running their own universes on their own servers.
All of OT is now playing Tribal Wars. We're looking to take over world 3.
