# crossfire(1)

a multiplayer adventure and arcade game server

## 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.
