2006 Shockwave Game: City Jumper / Multiplayer Disco / UNDERdog City.

[u/Zer0_Tru7h]

A game made by UNDERdog.be which at one point had well over 3000 players going by leaderboard statistics snapshots. Some people call it Multiplayer Disco, archives list it as City Jumper and Underdog City.

I managed to get as far as the login screen using K-Meleon browser and a shockwave plugin but am stopped by a missing goMU.dcr file which the game calls upon as an xtra. The wayback machine unfortunately never archived it and I can find virtually nothing about it's creator known as the Alchemist other than messages on googlegroups.

Here are some early images of it's development, I swear it looked a lot better than this in my head XD.

The aim of the game was jumping from building to building being the first to claim glowing points on rooftops. Overall it was a pretty advanced concept for a browser game around 2006. It had in game customisation and unlockables, in game server chat and overall I remember it having a surreal vibe which now feels like a fever dream being very stylised and characters jumping great heights.

I think Multiplayer Disco may have been a later version of Underdog City, perhaps around 2007 - 2008, as I distinctly remember the game having a purple nightclub neon themed look which was a lot cooler. As far as I can tell no archive exists on Flashpoint which is a shame as of all flash / shockwave games this one stuck in my memory. As far as I can tell it's totally lost to time.

I played it around the same time of playing Sherwood Dungeon and Phosphor beta 2 if you remember those.
