games A 16-player graphical real-time battle simulation

with a Star Trek theme. The game is divided into two teams of

eight (or less), who dogfight each other and attempt to

conquer each other's planets. There are several different

types of ships, from fast, fragile scouts up to big, slow

battleships; this allows a great deal of variance in play

styles. Netrek is played using a client to connect to one

of several Netrek servers on the Internet. There is a

metaserver which distributes details of games in progress on

other servers.
