Eclipse 2D MMORPG Engine
Hosted at Touch Of Death Productions
Ever wanted to create an MMORPG, but don't know how? Eclipse makes this easy, offering a free, intuitive MMORPG creator using a 2D engine. It is simple to create a game, though to make one of good quality takes a great deal of work and scripting. Overall it's a great engine, packed to the hilt with awesome features.
Hosted at Legendary Tales
Text-based RPGs are becoming scarce nowadays due to modern technology and high-end graphical engines. But LegendaryTales seeks to preserve the classic charm of the text-based game.
