Planetarion

Planetarion is a browser-based multiplayer internet game. Established in early 2000, Planetarion is essentially a text-based simulation of futuristic space-conflict. Each individual controls one 'planet', each of which is grouped within a 'galaxy'. The game objective is simple - to amass as many points as possible through resource grabbing and the elimination of rivals. This is best achieved by membership of a leading alliance, early examples of which include WaC, Vts and Fury.

Currently in it's eleventh round, Planetarion was originally free but now operates on a pay-to-play basis.
