Update April 13, 2002 - Well, I haven't really been doing much with the Atlantis Project lately. I'll still keep all my documentation and source code for download here, but to get the latest information and source code, the best place to go is probably the AtlantisDev Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atlantisdev/).
Atlantis is a multi-player computer moderated strategic fantasy game, often played via email. Atlantis was begun by Russell Wallace, who developed the initial version, and ran the first game, Atlantis 1.0. Geoff Dunbar continued the legacy, first with the extensive playtest of Atlantis 2.0, and then the commercial game Atlantis 3.0.
Now, we are proud to announce the founding the Atlantis Project, to further the development of the Atlantis game. The Atlantis Project is an open-source project, responsible for the release, coordination, and maintenance of the Atlantis source code. The goals of the project are two-fold:
Provide software for people who wish to run Atlantis games.
Provide a shared platform for people to develop their own offshoots and improvements of Atlantis.
