Title: Great game. Bzflag

I dont know if anyone has heard of this before but, BZFlag is a free multiplayer multiplatform 3D tank battle game. The name stands for Battle Zone capture Flag. It runs on Irix, Linux, *BSD, Windows, Mac OS X and other platforms. It's one of the most popular games ever on Silicon Graphics machines. Its open source can be modifeid if you know C++. Its as popular as Runescape if you know what that is.

Some screenshots from some of the players.

I have played it for more then 8 months. I know some people that have been playing it for 5 or more years!! That should tell you somthing. I have even talked to people from the age of 8 to 70!! This is a really addicted game. I put out about 5 to 10 hours a day just playing this game. Once you start to play for the first time you wont ever stop. Well some kids dont like it cause when they just start to play they get made fun of and called a newbie. Not to mention they always die.

You can also make maps (Worlds) for the game to play on with all your friends (If you know how to run a server).
Here is a screenshot of a map that I made.

where is an admin, this is an ad!

Actually, it's not an ad... It's just giving links to the game site. Ads involve you spending money or their forums.

well... What about people who post LINKS to their forums? That's advertising their site, is't it... So basically, this is an ad.
