Not quite Tomb Raider on your Zune yet but "Sketch62" is the one behind this gaming effort: A set of simple games which can be played mainly using the wifi feature of Zune to exchange pictures with other nearby Zuners. Right now there are 5 games in development and beta testing: Creatures, Rock Paper Scissor, Tic Tac Toe, Hangman and Battle...
As skecthy62 announced on the ZuneRama forum : I have been hard at work for the past 2 days on my secret projects. Today i will be releasing it to you all, and will start the open beta.
SO, what exactly have i been working on? well first of all the project name is "ZUNE WIFI GAMES"
Zune Wifi Games will have collection of Wifi Games on its MAIN DIRECTORY board. the ZWG BOARD will ONLY BE USED TO DIRECT USERS TO EACH SPECIFIC GAME. (therefore you do not need to register to this board)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of today. ZWG will showcase 3 WIFI games.
1) zCREATURE - REGISTRATION REQUIRED
zcreature is a picture sharing community based game. where you pick up your zCreature once registered. After becoming a member you will be open to all sections of the community. Due to the large scale of topics to talk about, im sure that you will find an area in which it suits you. YOUR VERY OWN zCREATURE WILL EVOLVE DEPENDING ON WHICH SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY YOU PARTICIPATE MOST IN. therefore makin you zCreature differnt from anyone else's.
FOR MORE INFORMATION AND RULES VISIT THE "what is zCreature" thread under the FAQs SECTION
2) ztic-tac-toe **BACK TO THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD**
ztic-tac-toe will be directly accesible from the Zune Wifi Games MAIN DIRECTORY board. where you will find a link to download the ztic-tac-toe zip file. Download and transfer it to your zune using the zune software.
3) zRockPaperScissor
rock paper scissors , played just the way it sounds.
If you want to be part of this beta testing all you have to do is visit the home of Zune Wifi Games and check them for yourself. I haven't tested them myself, but congratulations to sketchy62 just for the effort. Its really nice to read about community based efforts related to Zune.
