Phosphor the Multiplayer Shockwave FPS

Yesterday I got a chance to try out an interesting new game... the only First Person Shooter I have ever seen then is entirely implemented in shockwave. The game plays much like Quake or Unreal Tournament, has a handful of weapons, and some great visual effects for a 3d game implemented in only shockwave.

The name of the game is Phosphor, and as far as I can tell it is being developed by a group called rasterwerks. Phosphor includes bots for a single player arena type game play. While a single player FPS implemented entirely in shockwave is crazy enough, there is still more! The game includes network and internet multiplayer!

This is a crazy find, and definite good free game to try out. I think this is the future model for games, and provides a great opportunity to become profitable while remaining a free game. Great for a short break from work or as a short diversion, but ultimately the best MMO style game is still going to be DynamicMUD. At any rate I would still recommend you give it a try!
