[quote name="Fussbett"]Pretend like it's 1991 with this retro BBS door game, <a href="http://www.urbandead.com" target="werewr">Urban Dead</a>. You get 50 Action Points per day, which you'll use to wander around looking for ammo. You won't find any, so you'll take a swing at a zombie with an axe, miss, and go back to the mall where you and 20 other "players" are holed up. I asked the crowd if anything ever happens in this game... [quote]Since your last turn: Billy wayne said "yea" (08-20 05:10 GMT) TheTyrant said "Hi, can anyone here revive Shubeck?

(08-29 02:16 GMT)[/quote] So Billy wayne says that "yea" things do happen in the game. ...until one day the server had problems and I was stranded outside for the night, which of course means that I died. I tried my hand at being a zombie, and I did better, amassing 58 XP, which is more than halfway to a skill upgrade, but then this happened: [quote]Laflamme attacked you for 3 damage. (09-04 17:38 GMT) Mad Mack attacked you for 5 damage. (09-04 18:38 GMT) Mad Mack attacked you for 5 damage. (09-04 18:38 GMT) Mad Mack attacked you for 5 damage.
