So what is Netropolis 2? Think online multi-player business building mixed with devious undertones. Originally launched in 1997, Netropolis is Tiscali's free to play online multi-player game. Its clean and clear graphics make it easily usable by the vast majority of PCs and Macs, and as it runs through a browser, no additional software is required.

Players aim to build up a huge business empire and can either link with other players or strive to conquer on their own. Co-operation between players is strong, but so is the competition, with players using fair means or foul to get to the top of the rich list.

Now adapted and improved for the first time in 4 years, there are considerable changes to the original Netropolis that will enhance the playing experience. More content will be added regularly to really bring the game alive. New features on Netropolis 2 include:

Extended landmass - there are now six continents.

Topical events such as summer fires or winter blizzards.

Beginners training area.

Competition areas.

Improved game engine.

More security.

More community functions to build alliances.

Improved Forums.
