The Rise of Browser Based Games
Browser Games also known as web based, or online flash, java, or shockwave games. Browser based games have evolved from simple reincarnations of collapse, or breakout, to much more interesting games. Some browser based games are using Open GL to create rich 3d environments. One of the earliest examples of this was Alien X ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/150 ) Presented by shockwave.com this was a big leap and a treat to browser based game fans. Since Alien X there have been many equally impressive 3d games. For racing game fans there was Lego supersonic RC ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/70 ) or Rich Racer ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/148 ). And for Real Time Strategy fans came a great multiplayer game called Quantum Legacy ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/141 ). For fans of first person shooters there are newer games that take big steps beyond what Alien X was capable of. Phosphor for example, while still in its beta stages, has much more clean looking graphics and also has the capability of multiplayer online play. While all the games in this list are quite impressive the most successful game would have to be Runescape ( http://www.gamertech.com/node/18 ). Runescape is a massively multiplayer online RPG game where users try to earn money and complete quests in an online world. The game has become incredibly popular there are many sites devoted to the buying selling and trading of items within the game world.
