Urban Dead - Web Based Zombie Game

Ive been playing this game for the past few months, and it really is quite fun
It technically is a MMO, but since you only get 50 "Action Points" to spend (per day) collecting items, killing zombies, barricading buildings, reviving humans, etc, etc, etc. Its not like you really end up playing it for hours at a time. It only takes about 15-30 min to spend all of your points for the day.
The game is very simple - no fancy graphics here. You do get a "picture" of your surroundings in the upper left corner of the screen, but besides that its entirely text based. Here is what it looks like:

Here is a link to the FAQ if you are interested in reading more about the game ....

And if you do start playing, the game has a wiki set up with TONS of useful info, including a map of the city, with different sub maps for each individual suburb.

I highly recommend you check it out ! Im currently playing as a lvl 14 military medic, and I'm located in Roftwood @ St. Ethelbert's Hospital ... See you there? Maybe?

Very cool idea, but I'm tired of text based RPG's, MUDS, and java based nation building games.
About 3 years ago I'd be all over that game like singed koala looking for an all night burn center.

Regarding muds, I'd love to get back into one - it's just that all the really good ones are rather empty these days. The popular ones don't excite me that much. Two Towers, Star Wars MUD, and Shadowrun ftw.

Well it seems no one was really interested in this game ... but I have been playing it for awhile. I overheard a conversation in-game. There is a guy named CJ Spearing & he is an amazing artist. He created a small comic book based on the game and it is really worth a look.
He did speak a little about how he created the comic:
"It was drawn/ painted on toned paper, with colored pencils, ink, and acrylic. A few digital after-effects were added in Photoshop (the pervasive fog, clean borders, text, etc), but as a general rule, I'm pretty traditional."

I don't worship the devil. Jesus is Lord, friend. He died for your sins. He will forgive you if you just ask.
