GameRanger is an Internet gaming service for the Macintosh and Windows computing platforms, developed by GameRanger Technologies. It allows multiplayer games to be played online and provides various social features like chat rooms and voice chat. It was developed by Australian developer Scott Kevill and first released for Macintosh in July 1999. In the same year it achieved an award of 'Best Internet Gaming Achievement' by Macworld Magazine.[1] Windows support was added in 2008 and the service today supports over 700 titles.[2]
Overview[edit]
The service is regulated, updated and administered by Scott Kevill. In addition to hosting and playing games the service acts as a chat room with varied topics. However, today it must compete with the vast majority of developers who are choosing to adopt custom tracking software and maintain their own trackers. NetSprockets now belongs to an open source project called OpenPlay that has experienced very limited success in its adoption. Changes in networking technology as well as market expectations have also largely eliminated games that do not allow cross-platform network play. GameRanger continues to support a range of cross-platform games including those with custom trackers.
In November 2008, GameRanger released a client for Windows. Initially, 526 Windows games were supported with 27 of them able to connect to Mac users running the same game.
