Chumps in Space




There is something to be said for new and interesting video game ideas. There is also something to be said for old and interesting game ideas, which is to say: "something" regarding the recycling of old game ideas that have not been seen in a while. Once such game, worth mentioning, is Mayhem Intergalactic.

For those two or three of you left in the world who remember the old WWIII message board system, you may remember a space battle game where once generated ships on planets, and played against other WWIII posters in a "one day equals one turn" type fashion. (Actually, now that I think about it, there were several great multi-player games deployed on that entirely text-based 3600 baud modem-bound platform.)

So for those who remember, todays find Mayhem Intergalactic is a great blast from the common gamer unconscious-past.
