"MMTRG, is that like an MMO?" You might ask. Yes, but the (:w00t:) COOLEST MMO ever to hit the market. It's a cell-phone-only game, which sounds lame at first...until you hear more. Basically, MMTRG stands for Mobile Multiplayer Trans-Reality Game. Sound cool yet? That's not even the beginning.

Imagine the Earth as a globe. Not hard to do, unless you're part of the Flat Earth Society (http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/FlatHome.htm). Now, imagine another globe exactly like earth, but in the typical fantasy medieval setting. Got the image? Good. Now, picture both of those globes in exactly the same place. You can only see hear feel taste and touch one of them (our present world), and you can only interact with the other via your cell phone. The program uses the GPS in your phone (assuming you have one) to pinpoint your location in the game world, from where you can interact.

Perhaps it's best explained in a video:

im too lame and poor to have a cell phone! :sad:

That actually doesn't look that bad

Too bad it probably won't work in Sweden.

That's a pretty interesting idea.

Seems like a lotta effort ... I don't like having to play games outside the safety and comfort of my armchair.

Do you actually get shot? :shocked:

You would get some funny looks from the public if you were running from the "tower".

Personally I don't think it will catch on...although who knows.

and????

and????

and what?

I think I'll stay home and play my games there...

and what?


yes...

Phones with GPS are very expensive here. Looks like a pretty stupid idea anyway imo

One thing overlooked is the fact that this is a phone game...
And that video looks very much like an amateur video...
I don't hold out hope that this will work...
That video was so cheesy... :lol:
Plus, the Brits won't get this 'cos it will no doubt be American only, like GH mobile... :lol:

so...you have to move in real life to move in the game???

Actually, it looks to me like some of these are worldwide. Quite a few, actually.

I'm holding out hope...and trying to assemble a team to make one. ;)

I am not that big on using my cell phone for anything other than calls, with the exception of an occasional game of Tetris or Frogger :D

They probally should of used a less geeky actor to play the gamer.

Flat Earth Society (http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/FlatHome.htm)

I thought it was real. Or, I did...
The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.

Hehe...yeah, they're about as real as any other whacko group out there. ;)
