There's all the (posted) contest entries for voting. All 124 of them!

You'll need a fairly modern browser to play these, obviously (Chrome, FF4, etc.). Note that these are made using native browser technologies; no flash, silverlight, etc.

The technology still needs a little work, but some of these aren't too bad, actually.

Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!

Far 7 looks nice, but FireFox only? Shit's gay.

I thought they worked in all browsers except IE? Hmm.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Welcome on board, Captain!

So you want to play the Far 7 browser-based real-time MMORPG? That’s great! You’re always welcome here! The alpha version of the project is closed now, but you will soon be able to enjoy all the cool features of Far 7 in full. We’re in the process of preparing a full-fledged beta, and you cannot imagine how awesome it is!

Leave us your email address if you don’t want to miss out: we’ll get back to you.

I order you to forgive yourself!

Hmm... I think I beat the game :D Apos 02. My track got 416.3 meters.

Edit: I wonder if there is any luck in that game... Sometimes, my track gets a lot of meters, sometimes it doesn't.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
