hthttp://flippypants.com/features/277 Utopia

In the simplest of terms, Utopia is a text-based Civilization MMO. Taking place in the high-fantasy world of its title, players must keep constant tabs on their economy, military, science development, and relations with others.

As the title suggests, Urban Dead throws players into a world clutched by a zombie apocalypse. Based in the vast fictional city of Malton, the game distinguishes itself in that every person, whether survivor or zombie, is human controlled.
