XPilot
Thrust, turn and shoot it out with other pilots in a space arena.
▶ Play XPilot free, in your browser, nothing to install
XPilot (1992) is a multiplayer space combat game. Every player flies a small thrust-and-turn fighter through a world of walls, fuel stations, cannons, wormholes and gravity, shooting the others while trying to reach the map's objective.
The map decides the game: steal the other team's ball and bring it home to your base, race through the checkpoints, or fight it out with items such as mines, heat-seeking missiles, cloaks and phasing devices. Robots fly along when there are few players.
This port follows XPilot NG 4.7.3 (2010), the last release. Its server runs inside our server, one world per room that players join and leave while it runs, and its X11 client runs in the browser.
