A browser based Doom or Quake engine world sim to run around playing with others sounds like such an awesome concept. I'd love that!! And in the 90"s no less. That would've been crazy impressive.

Microsoft and MMOs, man. I remember they were gonna make a really neat online fantasy one for the Xbox and canned it, too.

That's such a wild story. Thanks for sharing that with us! I wish they wouldn't have cold shouldered you like that...

Here's how I was imagining that went down the whole time I was reading it lmao. Just for you.
