Not so Supa anymore

by Joel on March 13th, 2008

Sigh. Another massively multiplayer online game bites the dust. I’m talking about the demise of SupaSupa Aero Revo in the Philippines. Here’s the official announcement from publisher Z-Zone Online Philippines:

For some reason, Z-Zone is in love with the word “with” so I’ve taken the liberty of cleaning up the announcement a bit—just a bit. Anyway, I’m straying from the topic. Hmmm, what’s the topic again? Oh, yeah, the demise of SupaSupa. See how fast it fades from the memory. To think that I’ve written extensively about SupaSupa for a local gaming magazine.

And, yes, I did play SupaSupa for a time. I found it too, hmmm, arcade-y and better suited to players 10 years old and below. The game had its following, though, despite its lack of appeal to the more mature MMORPG market.

Well, here’s a toast to SupaSupa, a game that chose to dump its costume in an alleyway trash bin in exchange for a normal life as a reporter for a New York newspaper. Oops, wrong Supa.

Anyway, if you want to know more about this game, I’m afraid you need to search for it on a search engine. I seem to have lost those stories … and any memory about my adventures in SupaSupa.
