http://btanks.sourceforge.net/blog/ Overhead shooter that features 3 different tanks in Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Co-operative and Team Deathmatch. There is a bit of GTA too in that if you come across an unoccupied tank, you can get out of your current tank, get in the new one and drive off.
http://www.smokin-guns.net/ Formerly known as Western Quake 3, now Smoking Guns. Offers many match types such as:
Round Teamplay (dm_)
This gametype is the most basic gametype in Smokin' Guns. The two teams have the same goal: to kill all players on the opposing team. There is no other way to win a round.
Bank Robbery (br_)
As the name says, the goal of this mission types is to rob a bank and bring the money back to a secure point. To do so each player of the attacking team is equipped with two sticks of dynamite in order to blow up the safe. Robbing the bank isn't going to be easy because the whole second team is defending the bank and will try to prevent the other team from getting in. While a robbery might prove to be more difficult, it will also be much more profitable than just killing off the defending team. Once the attacking team wins a round the roles are reversed, meaning the team that defended the bank before will have to rob it.
Duel Mode (du_)
This is where you can reenact the classical Wild West showdown. In this mode, the only weapons you can buy are pistols (see: "Buy Menu"). The duel maps are actually large levels divided into several parts, and up to 16 players per map are supported. Separate duels can be performed simultaneously in different parts of the map.
The combatants start out facing each each other, unable to move for as long as the duel intro music plays. This is the time to buy pistols. When the duel music stops, the contest begins. Your pistols will be holstered, so you have to draw them quickly. Right away, your aim will be off. When the crosshair has faded completely back in, your aim will be accurate again.
The winner of the duel is rewarded with money which allows for purchasing better pistols, and stays on the same map part, where he faces the next opponent right away. The loser has to wait in line for his next turn. You get a star for every duel you win. As soon as somebody reaches five stars, the duel round ends and the winner gets one duel point. The number of rounds won is shown on the scoreboard, in brackets before each player's name. As the next round starts all players start from scratch with no extra money or pistols. The duel game ends when one of the players has won three rounds (customizable through the duellimit cvar).
Scorched Earth 3D http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/ Pretty much like Worms, more realistic graphics and in 3D.
Multiplayer Tetris http://www.freewarefiles.com/TetriCrisis-3-100-Percent_program_58642.html As the name suggests, Tetris online multiplayer.
Mario http://www.lysle.net/mario/index.php Play a game that is similar to Mario 3 but with multiplayer.
Tetrinet http://en.tetrinet.no/tetrinet-1-13-page-14.php More multiplayer Tetris _________________ <img src="http://www.gamersgate.com/ggtagi/2557041" width="225" height="198" border="0" alt="GG Tag"> |

We could also have an Elements tournament. That would be real fun to set up!

I have been away from the forums for awhile now, thanks Hemrawc, playing that card game (if Magic was this easy to grasp, I would never have stopped playing it). Bring it on, anyone want to try Elements, I am game. Thanks for the link. It rocks. _________________ <img src="http://www.gamersgate.com/ggtagi/2557041" width="225" height="198" border="0" alt="GG Tag"> |
