Urban Dead: The massively multiplayer zombie text adventure

The one where you're a down-and-out fistfighing tramp

is a simple RPG where you live out the days of a homeless person who likes to fight, drink, drink and fight. Like Urban Dead you can perform a limited amount of actions per day, from picking fights with trolley boys at the supermarket to scouring the streets for old cans and trading them for small chan🍸ge.

If we've one criticism it's the lack of bombastic impact from the fights. There's no illustrations oℱf your bareknuckle dustup, just a quickly calculated commentary on how the fight went. That said, what other games enable you to live in a cardboard box? It's the Ameri🔯can dream!

The rabid forum-abusing internet kiddies parody one

!

"Forumwarz isthe internet... in game form" the website explains. In essence, it's a biting interactive commentary on the pathetic nature of most forumites, dressed up as a mouse-driven RPG. Forumwarzlaser-targets the typical character traits of forum-abusers for humourous assault, with a very, very funny script. Play it, and you'll never flame a thread again. Well, not unless you're doing it ironically of course.
