Need For Kill - Quake 3 in 2d - WebGL game
Original game called "Need For Kill" was developed by 3d[Power] in early 200x as Windows DirectX game application written in Delphi. The game has multiplayer and dedicated servers on the Internet. There are several game modes: duel, teamplay, captu the flag, domintaion and others. The killer features are a progamer physics model and well balanced gameplay!
