    It's not Subspace, is it? That game has since been reverse engineered, a new server and client developed for it, and the community is still alive and kicking.

    >I really have a hard time seeing any game living for terribly long after it's been abandoned by the original company.

    Like... Continuum? http://www.getcontinuum.com/
    Or Gladiator? http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/gladiator/
    Or ZZT? http://zzt.belsambar.net/

    I would generally say that if the original developers/company _offers_ the game (and/or the source) for free with no support, players will freely support it themselves. A community will form around the players who support the game, and the game will live indefinitely. If the fanbase is technically knowledgeable in any way, you may even see patches to fix bugs and other dev tools come out -- particularly if the source is provided.

    The problem, of course, is simply getting the game/source.

  6. Not a gamer but... by Pedrito · · Score: 1 · on Games All Downhill Since Pong?

    I'm not really a big gamer and haven't really gone for the FPS stuff much after the first Doom. I've played a few games here and there, but there's one game that I've played off and on for 10 years and can't seem to break the addiction, and that's SubSpace (now known as Continuum). I started playing in '97 when Virgin Interactive had it in beta and while I've gone a few years here and there where I haven't played, I still play it pretty often. I can't really say what it is about it that's so appealing to me, but there isn't another game out there (other than maybe solitaire) that I've continually found engaging like Continuum.

    There is something to be said for online gaming communities. Subspace/Continuum has been around for almost 10 years because of the community it built.

  8. O2 blocks TCP & UDP by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Cell Phones Presage Future of Non-Neutral Internet

    I tried to create a chat client for a free mmo game i play http://getcontinuum.com/ only to discover my cell phone provider

    O2 only allows HTTP and blocks TCP and UDP. Sucks, aparently it is to prevent people using VOIP but it prevents hundreds of legitimate uses.
    Then again they probabbly dont want people to play or use 3rd party free apps.
