NetMonster FAQ

NetMonster is an interactive game of monster collecting. Players (known in the gaming world as hunters) Search for the NetMonster Cage Button Fig 1.1.1 on various webpages scattered about the net. Once a hunter finds a NetMonster (or NM for short), the hunter then fires up his NetMonster software, selects "Capture a Monster" from the Main Menu Fig 1.1.2, Enters the Complete URL where he found the Button into the NetMonster Tracker Fig 1.1.3 and the hunt is on. What happens next is what makes the game interesting. Either he finds a new NMr to join him in his quest, he finds a hostile NM that he has to fight against, or he finds one of the many surprises scattered about the web.

The Story

Many Years ago when the web was still young and new all the NMs lived happily in the White Mask Netmonster Rift. No one is sure why they were there, how they got there or where they came from, but anyway, there they were and there they would have stayed. Of course Happiness and contentment are lousy components for and engaging game, this is why we now encounter SHADE.

Shade is an evil Phantom Mage who couldn't stand to be imprisoned within the digital walls of the original NetMonster Rift no matter how huge his self perceived prison was. He lay in silence watching the comings and goings of his "captors", learning the secrets of the rift. All the while the icy hatred in his heart grew. After years of careful study Shade made his move.

Through Magic, Psychology, and sheer intimidation Shade gathered several thousand of his fellow Malcontented NMs and broke free. Now The rogue NMs are everywhere causing havoc on the web. The clog phone lines, impede connection speeds, lock browsers, corrupt code, and even pull your favorite pages off the web leaving in its place the dreaded "Page Can Not Be Displayed". Clearly they Must be stopped.

Of course not all of the escaped NMs are evil. Many of them realized they had been led on by Shade's insane plan, many more sneaked away after the initial fear and the Magical spells that bound them wore off. Some NMs were actually born (or whatever) free in the net, descendents of the original escapees. These NetMonsters have never even seen the White Mask NetMonster Rift, and May not even know who Shade is (though a cold chill will still crawl through their spines at the utterance of his name). However they got there, It's your job (isn't it always) to find them, recruit them, or defeat them, but that's not all. Your ultimate goal, is to track down the legendary Phantom mage who caused this whole mess lo those may years ago. Of course You'll need some help.

Along the way you'll find many Special NMs that, if you're worthy, will help you with your quest. The Majority of the NMs out there realize that Shade is a menace to the entire world, and will lend their hands (paws, claws, pseudopodia, whatever) to your Quest. Plus you'll encounter many strange wonderful, and often, downright horrifying. It's guaranteed to be a wild ride.
