Neocron released in September 2002 is one of world's first Cyberpunk MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game). It features action-oriented combat, similar to first-person shooters in a 3D environment real time enviroment.
Neocron and its sequel Neocron 2 were developed by Reakktor, an entertainment software company based in Germany.
Neocron referred to commonly as Neocron 1, since the inception and release of Neocron 2 Beyond the Dome in December 2004, is no longer a playable game. It was run for a short time in conjunction with the Neocron 2 servers but was eventually removed as most players upgraded.
Game Story
"By the end of the third millenium, Earth has changed... Global pollution, excessive wars and a perforated atmosphere have turned the planet into an almost lifeless sphere of toxic mud. Radiation is everywhere and most animals have either gone extinct or have mutated into bizarre monstrous creatures. The remnants of mankind seek protection from the desolate, scorched world and gathered behind the protective walls of giant cities. These few mega cities became the last lights of hope, in the darkness of Earth's final dusk...”
