Computer Edge

Computer Edge magazine's Dec. 1 issue has 3 articles on games. One is titled "Online Games are Virtually Amazing". It describes 3 online games, EverQuest, Asheron's Call and Ultimate Ultima, that seem to have large followings. These games are multiplayer roleplaying games played over the internet. What surprised me was the amount of people playing these games online. (68,000 players can play EverQuest at one time!) Also, it seems that in order to play you pay a monthly fee (about $10 for EverQuest). The graphics and game design sound very complex and interactive. Very interesting to hear what's possible on the web, considering our most recent assignment.
