shmup/ shoot em up Also I thought Europe counted as one chunk for the sake of advertising . Also why the restricted tech tree advancement? I remember no restrictions in the actual game on tech besides time and money cost for being earlier . Shit I could totally within two years make an MMO in the vein of the original Neverwinter nighs mmo that came out in '91 or some of the commericalized MUDS/MUCKS that existed as like prototypes of the modern MMOs at the time.
