Starmourn is a text-based MUD / MMO that heavily draws inspiration from numerous sci-fi sources, such as the Star Wars universe, the Foundation series by Asimov, Dune, and others. While the game feels dated today (it came out in 1995 afterall), it’s cool to go back in time and see how LucasArts was one of the innovators of the FPS genre. In fact, SW:DF was one of the first FPS games to feature vertical aiming. So while theoretically, we can call it a Doom clone, SW:DF massively expanded on the first-person-shooter engine capabilities that were common at the time. The game itself was originally created in 1995 by LucasArts, using a custom engine (Jedi game engine). This classic DOS title, which is pretty much a Doom clone, was ported to browser using JavaScript. So if you favour an intensive roleplaying experience over graphics quality, Star Wars Combine is definitely worth a look. What SWC lacks in modern 3D graphics, it makes up for in deep, community-based roleplay, and super-detailed simulation of the Star Wars universe. The game was developed entirely by Star Wars fans, with no official support from LucasArts, and has been running online for around 20 years.
