Urban Dead

[Cheese]

Funky little game, but maybe not to everyone's taste. I just like it 'cos there are zombies in it.


Urban Dead is a browser-based, grid-mapped multi-player game where you play the survivor or victim of a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city centre. (Here's a screenshot (http://www.urbandead.com/screenshot.html).)

Very low-tech but oddly compelling. Link is in the sig.



Edit: My username on the game is McHesh:schnauz:

i ran about a bit, shot at a zombie until i ran out of ammo, then holed up in Club Whittard in Grigg Heights with Shadow112, strikhe, and Sherif Junior. During my time resting there, i came to the conclusion, that you, Cheese, sir, am a nut, for liking morepigs

[Cheese]

McHesh got killed and turned into a zombie:(

I have a couple of other characters running round. In fact I keep having to use a proxy to get all my characters moved...

It's a vital training program for when the zombies do take over. And trust me, that day is coming soon:ph34r:

[Gripper]

[DarthInsinuate]

[Gripper]

Leeeeeeroooooy,I got chicken

[DarthInsinuate]

i wondered off some place, punched some guy in the head, and had a zombie conversation

[Cheese]

People keep reviving my zombie character so I enter a building punch a few people then jump out of a window to my death.

Zombie conversations are also fun:


Since your last turn:

* A zombie said "Brnhr." (09-03 10:20 GMT)
* surfer5 said "Dudes! There you guys are! I've been looking, like, all over for you!" (09-03 10:30 GMT)
* surfer5 said "Dude, you don't look so hot, man. One too many doobies last night? Sweet, man." (09-03 10:30 GMT)

* surfer5 said "And, like, no biting on the hands, man! These are, like, Maiden-hands, you know? Like, for playing the guitar, dude! SWEET! *Plays air-guitar*" (09-03 10:35 GMT)
* surfer5 said "So, like, dude! Where's the party going down, man? You guys just gonna stand here all night? Just chillin'? Like, you're super-chilled already, dude. Give me five!" (09-03 10:37 GMT)
* surfer5 said "Woops, like, think you dropped your hand, man. Far out, dude! By the way, man, have you seen my car? I thought I, like, parked it in the hardwarestore last night or something." (09-03 10:39 GMT)
* surfer5 said "Look, dude. It's those two totally gay dead-looking dudes at 10 o'clock! Sweet, they're, like, showing love with, like teeth or something." (09-03 10:41 GMT)

[Spider_dude]

I got munched on by a group of 120 zombies. My two alt chars are far off fighting the good fight (ie hiding in warehouses).

I hired a team of mimes to perform the on-screen action. Midget mimes, so that they could fit on my desk.

[Spider_dude]

[DarthInsinuate]

I just punched Keanu Reeves' head, whilst shouting: "That's for Point Break"

[Cheese]

My characters:

McHesh (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=99527)is hiding in a mall in Gulsonside, he is level 4 at the moment and his hobbies include healing zombies for experience points and spraypainting amusing graffiti.

Angus Thermopyle (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=110597) is a level 5 zombie, his favourite trick is to enter a building with lots of humans in and say "Mrh?" (this is the universal sign for asking for a revive) then he will eat someone with his remaining AP's. Meanwhile all the do-gooders will try to revive him instead of killing him, this tactic will be even more fun when I get Brain Rot.

Carlito (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=110441) is a level 7 soldier, he likes to kill things with his axe. One day he hopes to own a shotgun.

My girlfriend has a character called Inigo Montoya that just runs into buildings shouts, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die." Then hits someone (usually the toughest person in the building) for 1 point of damage before running off.

[DarthInsinuate]

Jack Public (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=147453) - Hits things with his axe, usually people he can make a glib remark at before running away.

DarthInsinuate (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=101676) - used up all his bullets trying to shoot someone with a stupid name. jumped out a window twice, after forgetting what happened the first time. Now enjoys smashing barricades because it's impossible to level up since there are no bullets around

[Cheese]

My favourite group: The Petorians
(http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/The_Petorians)
Sample operation quote:


At a pre-arranged signal, timed the the very nanosecond by Professor Humphrey L. Steinbergenstein (the eminent Jewish psychologist), the Petorians instantly became ninjas. The known death count of this operation was fifty hojillion, but they were all mean people so nobody minded. The post-mission debriefing was a fun time had by all, with plenty of cake and biscuits for everyone.

Me too, though once you level up things can get easier. The wiki (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Main_Page) might give you some good tips on starting out.
