New game working on Zune HD

alpha8768 · 08-22-2011, 01:04 PM

Hello everyone!

Today I'm happy to announce that a new game, called "8Realms", can be played directly from the Zune HD browser.

It has been coded in HTML by Jagex (yes the ones who made Runescape...) and the game is currently in open beta status. Sounds wonderful a? But there is always something bad: each day you play it in open beta, you get 1 more chance to win an ipod touch! (What a shame :0)

But anyway, the game looks great (for a browser game) and its a kind of Age of Empires online. If you don't like MMORTSes, don't play it cuz you will hate it...

Official website: http://www.8realms.com/

So you just have to registrer and they will give you a key in order to be able to play the open beta.

Youtube gameplay video on PC:

YES you can mute the annoying drum pattern.

What do you think about it? Do you guys like it?

Feel free to comment!

Wow, I actually got a key for the closed beta buy never pursued it because I'm rarely on my computer. You better not be trolling me

I am not trolling you. This game is made by jagex and it is fully trusted. I don't understand your precipitated reaction and the keys are usually sent in waves (1 wave per week or something like this). Me, I got it from their website.

Where did you get it? If you are still not believing me, do as you wish but a google or a youtube search would be highly recommended before saying that I am a troll.

I played runescape for quite a while, I've been a member for like 7 years now, they emailed me several beta keys (all expired now) but I never get on my pc, so I never got in on it. Unfortunately, you can no longer get in on the beta (registration/key distribution ended august 5th). And I said you better not be trolling me because the zhds browser barely runs anything, and I really woudln't mind being able to play a large online game like that. Also, can you get sound on the zhd?

Oh, the game takes the screen resolution of your device and sometimes its a bit laggy/hard to press small buttons but it stays playable. I didn't see that the registration key ended on august 5 o_O Thank you for telling me because I got mine around July 24 but I was in vacations so...

No you cannot get sound on the zHD browser. It work on Opera Mini trough liberate too, but still no sound

Thank you very much for explicating yourself, now I understand what you meant

EDIT: Also, sometimes some images are not appearing but you can press on it anyway if it is a button... In opera mini, you can fix this lagg by reducing the image quality.
