About the Alien Assault Traders project |
Updated on November 1, 2004
Alien Assault Traders is an online, web-based, turn-based
strategy space trading game forked off the source of both
BlackNova Traders (BNT) and
Nova Gaming System (NGS)
and inspired by the popular BBS game of TradeWars. Alien
Assault Traders derived from NGS. In playing NGS we felt
that the game we wanted to play was a different direction
than what the author of NGS was going. We forked off NGS
and derived the new game that we now call Alien Assault
Traders.
Our goal was to create a game that was fast paced, with
a high level of variety and options, very balanced and
have a way where with enough strategy, planning and good
team play, any body could be at the top of the rankings.
