Site 'Video Games'

[Dracos]

We, up on the rafters, have been moderately discussing providing some on site video game entertainment for folks.  A sort of way to occupy the time while hanging out at the forum, have neat little forum video games, etc, easily.

We've got a few ideas on things we're going to put into place but we're curious as to any ideas you guys have.  Got some game you want to have here?  Like oh, scrabble?

We can see about making it happen.  Links to games that can be hosted are welcome.  Yes, scorched earth is likely for those who've already expressed interest.

For record, recommended games thus far:
Scorched Earth
Tetris
Scrabble
Pac man
Astroids
Monopoly
Chess
Poker
Go
worms? - Scorched earth pretty much covers this

Edited: Thanks hal.

Nobody has any opinions whatsoever on games they'd like?  I can't believe that.

I like the scrabble idea....

[Dracos]

Scrabble will happen. =)

Can we organize tournaments?  Amature writers abound here, we'll see some real displays of obscure words here!

And if we let Rez and Drac play, we'll get that times a billion!  What other games, folks?  I'm largely only interested in multiplayer; the games we can play with one-another.

[Dracos]

Yes, that is part of the intent.  We'll also look into putting together a nifty stats system to keep track of all the fun information.

Ah ... okay.  I think we could go for, say, chess?  Backgammon ... not so much so.  Maybe a card-game, like poker to chat/play with multiple people?

I second chat/play card games.

[Dracos]

Tossed 'em up.

If you have other names of games, put them out there.

If you have, even better, links to server code for such, post here =)

Ooooooh!  I wanna play Go against Drac and Rez!

Worms! :D

Scorched Earth doesn't have cute worms blowing the living shit out of each other ;p

[Dracos]

Yeah, though I doubt I can get an online version setup and hosted here.

Point ;_;

This appears to have lots of stuff for server run games that are multiplayer.

Anyone see anything they like there?

Chess, poker, go, and scorched earth all sound awesome.
