Classic MMOG Raised From the Dead by Past Players

Posted by timothy on from the dumpsters-are-invaluable dept.

Chromain writes "Back in 1996, the Seattle-based company Starwave created one of the first graphical MMOGs: Castle Infinity. Though it was well received by all who tried it, it quickly sank under bad marketing, extended downtime, and sloppy leadership. Now, nearly 8 years since disappearing off the map, the game has been (quite literally) rescued from a dumpster by a group of past players. It's available for free at their new website."

    "I've been playing Castle Infinity since a very young age, and have volunteered on the game for quite a few years. Castle Infinity was developed around 1995/96 by Starwave. "

    So, the guy who rescued Castle Infinity is anywhere between 10-15 years old? Sheesh.
