So I’ve been playing a game called Travian lately. It’s fun at times. It’s a free browser game in the war game/strategy genre. When you start out the game is a bit boring as you are building up your village and waiting (lots of waiting) for construction to finish. After about a week though the game gets to be a bit more fun.

There are a variety of servers to play on. Some servers are country specific while others are international. I opted to play on an international server as I enjoy diversity and chatting/playing with people from around the world is one of those things that still makes the internet feel magical. Each server game lasts for 1 year and then the servers are reset. This is the type of game that you really only have about a month of tardiness before joining late becomes a death sentence. Luckily servers are starting/ending at different times.

The game itself is simple: survival and conquest. As you build up your villages you research and train new military units. Through conquest and exploration you gain more villages which in turn allow you to build an even larger military. Meanwhile, thousands of other players are attempting to do the same thing.

There are 3 races: Romans, Gauls and Tuetons. Romans are the “well-rounded” race while Gauls are supposed to be superior defenders with Tuetons as the superior offensive race. I opted to play as a Gaul but as an aggressive one. So far things have gone well. The server is 3 months in and I’m already one of the top 400 players as well as a member of the top alliance on the server.

The one drawback I find in the game is that to succeed, you really need to devote a lot of time to playing the game. I can log into my account hourly and there is always something to be done. The casual player can still have fun playing although growth will be slower and there may be more challenges competing with more active players.

There are a lot of 3rd party websites devoted to Travian and quite a few have created useful tools for aiding the Travian player. I’ll be reviewing some and adding links soon.

So a guy in Japan was able to modify Super Mario World to make the game very difficult.  How difficult?  Insanely!  His friend is an incredible player and took up the challenge.  You can watch the video here:

For more Mario fun there is also:

Mario Frustration I think that is the from Mario the Lost Levels. Take note, the guy playing likes to use the F-word, a lot!

With a rap This is someone else clearing the Lost Levels in one life. There is a mario rap in the background with some explicit lyrics.

Every so often I see an old game for sale that commands over $50 in price and I ask myself, “why?” Why is this 10 or 20 year old game so much more than the others that sell for $5-10? There’s been a couple of games that I’ve tried and they are not that much fun. Aero Fighters is a SNES game that I’ve seen end for $200 or more frequently on eBay.  I had never played the game before.  I had always been curious.  Well today I managed to get a cartridge and fire it up.  I must say I was impressed.  For those that don’t know, Aero Fighters is one of those games where you are in a plane flying on the screen shooting stuff and trying to survive.  Raiden and 1943 are two similar games that come to mind.  McO’River added a little bit more to Aero Fighters to make the game stand out.  For one, you can choose from 4 pilots from either the USA, Japan, Sweden or the United Kingdom.  Each of these four pilots has their own goals.  This game is also two player which is neat.  I beat the game on easy mode (stop laughing) and at the end I was instructed to enter something on my keypad at the character select screen however I didn’t write it down.  Perhaps this is for hidden characters or some other Easter egg feature.

If you are looking for a nice copy of the game, I have one available here

Aside from selling video games, I also design them.  My first attempt at a web game is called Loki in Space.  You can test out Loki in Space although I do need to mention that the game is not finished. There will be quite a few features added and there will be some changes to the mechanics of the game. You can also view the high scores here: Loki in Space Top Scores.
