NAME

CrossFire - a multiplayer adventure and arcade game server

SYNOPSIS

crossfire [-<options>]

DESCRIPTION

CrossFire is a multiplayer graphical arcade and adventure game, which has certain flavours from other games, especially Gauntlet (TM), NetHack, Moria, Angband, and Ragnarok. Any number of players can move around in their own window, finding and using items and battling monsters. They can choose to cooperate or compete in the same world.

CrossFire runs as a client/server model. You will also need one of the clients to play. With them you can either connect to a server s.o. else has set up, or run your own server and connect to that. At now clients exit for the X-Windows, GTK, Java, and Windows NT environment.
