Hosting since 2004

22 August 11

Host has again recovered.

We are hosting an other Vanilla game. Host has been stable for a few weeks since the last crash and we are doing more system backups to try to stop these problems from happening again. Please join a game and bear with us.

25 July 11

Host has been down for a few months for a major cleanup.

We have completed all work, and are ready to start hosting games again. We will start with a few Vanilla games just to make sure all is working fine. Please join any game you see and have fun.

All forms are working again and all games are up and running. Thanks to all for your patience in these times.

I have decided to host the Winplan-Mobile file I create here so people can find it easier. If you are looking for the file, please Download Here

Just a quick update, seems the forms are not working on the site right now. We are aware of this problem and looking itno getting this fixed right away. Please bear with us and if you need anything changed, just email us and we can do it manually.

Many thanks for your time and understanding as we work through these minor issues.

27 October 09

Some of you may have noticed the site was not available for the last few days. We were working with some provider issues, but all has been fixed and we are up and running fine once again.

In the mean time, there is a new game filling fast, and still a few spots left some others. Jump in now and let the games begin.

It has come to may attention that many of my players travel at times and are not able to play the game in the road. This was a problem of mine a while ago and I craeted a program to help out with this. I am sure that many of you use USB drives to store data and sometimes run programs from. I modified Winplan to install on a USB drive and run from there. It puts a few files on the hard drive, but cleans up after itself when you close the program, making it great for people on the go that do not carry their install disks. You WILL need your registration code when you fist run it.

If you are interested, the file is hosted on Circus Maximus, just look for Winplan Mobile. Good luck, and enjoy.

02 September 09

Take a look at the games area, there are 2 new games waiting for players. Once the games are full we shall start.

06 January 09

As of today, I think most of teh pages should be up and working properly. If you happen to find a page that does not look right, or does not work, please informing me right away so I can take a look at it.

With luck and the new look, I will try to get a new game or 2 up and running in the near future.

I hope everyone had a good Holiday Season, and lets see how the new year goes for us.

02 January 09

With a new year, we start out with a new updated look.

First off, I am well aware of the issues we had during the holidays, I am sorry. We have since moved to a new provider, and should be fairly stable for a while now.

Game Introduction

The following is an introduction to the game sourced from the VGA Planets Homepage

VGA Planets is a graphical, multi-player, play by electronic mail, space war game. This game simulates combat in space between galactic scale empires. The game emphasizes colonization of space and the development of the planets that you will find, colonize and/or conquer. How well you develop these resources will determine what kind of starships (freighters and capital ships) you will be able to produce and how well you will be able to defend your space and attack your neighbors.

This game is designed to be a strategic and tactical game of warfare, but you will also need to be able to build an economy and service your empire. With a well developed strong economic base you will have a greater potential for winning the game.

As the leader of your empire you are responsible for all of the decisions that effect your growth and production (excluding, of course, being attacked by your neighbor). You will decide how to best develop your planets with the resources available to you. You will decide what type of starship(s) to be built at your starbase(s). You are the mastermind behind your race and you are in a race to see which empire can first conqueror the universe.

At the start of the game you are left with a homeworld, a low tech starbase, and two low tech starships. These are the only things left of your former empire since the nastiest Ion Storm ever recorded hit the Echo Cluster. You will need to manage your planets population, money, minerals and other resources very wisely, for these are your only sources of production early in the game. If you manage them well you will be able to expand quickly expand and broaden your economic and mineral base quickly, while still keeping a wary eye on your potentially dangerous neighbors. Remember while you are growing and becoming stronger so are your neighbors.

VGA Planets is designed to be able to handle from two to eleven players in a play by mail (electronic mail) game format. The game is designed to be played as a Net or Bulletin Board System (BBS) game (as long as file transfers are permitted and available), although it can be played solely on one computer. Many of the Net players are playing using E-mail.

WINPLAN is the latest version of the VGA Planets Player Client. WINPLAN offers the users of VGAP a lot of integrated functions that were formerly taken care of by external utilities. WINPLAN offers auto-plotting of minefields (based on mine sweep messages), plotting of Ion Storms, Explosions and a whole lot more.
