The Global Assassin game is a multiplayer, shoot-em-up game set in the first person, and yet it's text-based.

The year is 2035, and robots have taken over the Earth. Most humans died during the invasion or were forced to flee the planet. You are part of a small resistance that has managed to survive underground and is now prepared to strike back.

As a trained assassin, your objective is to return to the Earth's surface, stealthily move through the world's major cities, and systematically rid the planet of its invaders.

Globulation 2 is an innovative high quality RTS, which minimizes micro-management by automatically assigning tasks to the units. The player has to choose the number of units he wants for the different tasks, and the units will do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows to manage more units and to focus on strategies.
It can be played by a single player, through your Local Area Network (LAN), or through Internet thanks to Ysagoon Online Game (YOG), a meta-server. It also features a scripting language for versatile gameplay or tutorials and an integrated map editor.

You are faced with a square grid full of square-based (not necessarily rectangular) blocks. You, the intrepid gamer, must somehow get the blocks in a certain arrangement by dragging them around with your mouse; usually, this involves moving a certain block to a certain spot, which of course requires that many other blocks move in many other (often unexpected) ways. If this sounds like Rush Hour or Klotski, you've got the idea.
