The word 'real' probably means commercial games. The number of commercial Java
games is small compared to ones coded in C++ or C, but the number is growing, and
many have garnered awards and become bestsellers:
Puzzle Pirates by Three Rings (http://www.puzzlepirates.com/), a multiplayer pirate
game that includes Tetris- or Columns-like puzzles at various points. Both the client
and server are written in Java. It won several awards during 2004, including the
Technical Excellence and Audience Choice prizes at the Game Developers
Conference.
Chrome by Techland (http://www.chromethegame.com/en/show.php). A futuristic
multiplayer FPS made up of 14 different missions, in an amazing variety of
landscapes. It received a Duke's Choice Award from Sun Microsystems in 2004 for
the most innovative product using Java technology.
Law and Order II, by Legacy Interactive.
(http://www.lawandordergame.com/index2.htm) A detective game written in Java,
Java 3D, and Quicktime for Java. The first Law and Order sold over 100,000 units.
Kingdom of Wars, set in the fantasy world of Jairon, by Abandoned Castle Studios
(http://www.abandonedcastle.com/).
Alien Flux, an exciting arcade shoot-em-up from Puppy Games
(http://www.puppygames.net/info.php?game=Alien_Flux).
War! Age of Imperialism
(http://www.eaglegames.net/products/WAR_AOI/wai.shtml), a computer version of
the award-winning board game from Eagle Games.
Runescape by Jagex (http://www.runescape.com) is a massive 3D multiplayer fantasy
adventure game. Clients can use a Java applet to play, or download a Windows-based
client application.
Star Wars Galaxies from LucasArts (http://www.lucasarts.com/products/galaxies/)
has its game logic coded in Java.
IL-2 Sturmovikand the new version IL2-Forgotten Battles by Ubi-Soft
(http://www.il2sturmovik.com/). Award winning WW I aerial combat using Java and
C++.

Pernica by Starfire Research (http://www.starfireresearch.com/pernica/pernica.html)
An online fantasy role-playing game first implemented in Java 3D, recently ported to
Xith3D.
Cosm from Navtools, Inc. (http://www.cosm-game.com/)
Another fun online fantasy-based role-playing game.
C&C Attack Copter. A free online action game based on the Command & Conquer
series from Electronic Arts (http://www.eagames.com/free/home.jsp).
Roboforge by Liquid Edge Games (http://www.roboforge.com). Train a 3D robot to
fight in online tounaments. It was given an "Excellent 87%” by PC Gamer Magazine.
Galactic Village by Galactic Village Games (http://www.galactic-village.com), a
massively multiplayer strategy game, written entirely in Java. Not yet finished,
although alpha versions have been appearing.
Wurm Online by Mojang Specifications (http://www.wurmonline.com/). Another
massively multiplayer fantasy game, written in Java. Still at the alpha stages of
development, but the screenshots look great.
Jellyvision (http://www.jellyvision.com/) used a mix of Java and C++ in their popular
Who wants to be a Millionaire (2000) and You don't know Jack (1995) games. They
employed Java for the game logic, an approach also used in Majestic (2001) by
Electronic Arts.
Java was utilized as a scripting language in the acclaimed Vampire - the Masquerade:
Redemption (2000) from Nihilistic software (http://www.nihilistic.com/).
Tom Clancy's Politika (1997) from Red Storm Entertainment
(http://www.redstorm.com/) was written in almost pure Java. Both Shadow Watch
(2000) and Tom Clancy’s ruthless.com (199mixed Java and C/C++.
A good source for non-technical lists of Java games, both commercial and
freeware/shareware, can be found on the Java games pages at java.com
(http://www.java.com/en/lifestyle/games/). It divides games into several categories:
action, adventure, strategy, puzzle, cards, sports, and so on.
6.1. Freeware/Shareware Games
There are many, many Java games out on the Web, but finding a game that's well
written requires a careful search. Many applets date from the late 1990’s, and were
designed using the outdated JDK 1.0 and 1.1 with their feeble media APIs (graphics,
sounds, etc). The initial Java euphoria produced some less than exciting games, more
concerned with technical trickery. This large pool of useless applets got Java labelled
as a toy language.
Recent versions of Java are quite different: speed is vastly improved, and APIs crucial
to gaming, such as graphics and audio, are of a high quality. There's been a move
away from applets towards the downloading of client-side applications using Java
Web Start.
Java’s backwards compatibility allows the applets from 1996-8 to be executed, and
they'll often run quicker than originally. However, it’s probably best to steer clear of
these Java dinosaurs, and look for more modern code.

There are numerous Web sites with Java games. The emphasis of the following list is
on applications/applets for playing:
• Java Games Factory (JGF), http://grexengine.com/sections/externalgames/. There
aren’t many games at this site (about 50), but they're all high quality. The aim is to
show off the variety of modern Java game technologies.
• ArcadePod.com, http://www.arcadepod.com/java/
Over 750 Java games, nicely categorized.
• Java 4 Fun, http://www.java4fun.com/java.html
Similar in style to ArcadePod, and a good set of links to other sites.
• jars.com, http://www.jars.com
A general Java site with a ratings scheme. There are many games, but a lot of
them are old applets.
• Java Shareware, http://www.javashareware.com/
Another general site: look under the categories: applications/games/ and
applets/games.
• Java Games Central, http://www.mnsi.net/~rkerr/
A personal Web site which lists games with ratings and links. It was last updated
in 2001.
Some of my favourite freeware/shareware games at the moment:
• Super Elvis (also known as Hallucinogenesis) by puppygames.net
(http://puppygames.net/), which won the Sun Microsystems 2004 Technology
Game Development Contest. Super Elvis can be downloaded using Java Web
Start from
http://www.puppygames.net/downloads/...nogenesis.jnlp
• FlyingGuns (http://www.flyingguns.com/), a 3D multiplayer WW1 fighter plane
game/simulator. This came second in the contest, but is my favourite.
• Cosmic Trip (http://www.mycgiserver.com/~movegaga/cosmictrip.html), an
arcade style 3D game with striking graphics.
• Squareheads (http://home.halden.net/tombr/squareh...uareheads.html) a
multiplayer FPS (it came third in the developer contest).
• Escape (http://javaisdoomed.sourceforge.net/), a Doom-like FPS.
• CazaPool3D (http://membres.lycos.fr/franckcalzad...rd3D/Pool.html), a pool
game that allows online (single/multiplayer) play in an applet or as a standalone
application.
Programmers looking for source code should start at one of the following sites:
• SourceForge, http://sourceforge.net/search/
SourceForge acts as a repository, and management tool, for software projects,
many with source code. A recent search for (java + game) returned over 70
projects that had 40% or greater activity. One of the drawbacks of SourceForge is
that it can be quite difficult to decide whether a project is vaporware or not. Good

projects, which have been completed, will show low activity after a time,
dropping down the list of search results.
• FreshMeat.com, http://freshmeat.net/
Freshmeat maintains thousands of applications, most released under open source
licenses. The search facilities are excellent, and can be guided by game category
terms. The results include rating, vitality, and popularity figures for each piece of
software. A recent search for Java in the Games/Entertainment category returned
nearly 70 hits. Many applications turn up at both SourceForge and FreshMeat.
• The "Your Games Here" Java Games Forum, http://www.javagaming.org/cgibin/
JGNetForums/YaBB.cgi?board=Announcements
Implementors can post links to their games, and (perhaps more importantly) users
can post their opinions as follow-ups.
• Code Beach, http://www.codebeach.com
CodeBeach has a searchable subsection for Java games that currently contains
nearly 90 example.
• Programmers Heaven, http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone13/
It has a ‘Java zone’ containing some games.
