Hands down TRIBES was the game that defined Multiplayer gaming. It should be recognized as one of the best games ever.
The game play can be described in so many ways because it is so indepth. Tactics and strategy actually mean something here. The players are given huge manps with really cool bases to play from. The thrill one gets when they first capture a flag and barely make it out of the enemy base. The feeling of finally capping a flag is so powerful that it was one of the best highs in my life. Better then even sex at the time. (But that is a differant story all together now.)
TRIBES was revolutionary from the server screen up. No other game ever made to date, including TRIBES II, has been as addictively fun as this game has been. Dynamix nailed this jewel without question. TRIBES should be recgonized as one of the most revolutionary games of our time. It was just down right fun to play. The mods made it even better.
In all of the years since it release I can honestly say I have logged well over a 1,000 hours playing it. The Graphics for its time were the best, the sound was awsome, and game play was off the scale.
