Original Version
DragonSpires was a DOS-based massively multiplayer online game created in 1994 by Dr. Cat and Talzhemir of Dragon's Eye Productions, with additional design contributed by Jeff Dee. The gameplay was largely social, as opposed to combative or goal-based. DragonSpires had a limited set of features, including:
- A palette-swapped player avatar.
- A map.
- Chat and messaging abilities.
- Arena combat.
- A shop where players could change their avatars' colors.
- A soccer field with balls which players could kick or pop.
- A dog biscuit that turned the player into a dog.
- A "graffiti" sign which recorded spoken text.
Jeff Dee designed Dragonspires' arena combat, costume shop, soccer field, and dog biscuit.
DragonSpires in this first format was discontinued in early 1997 after the release of Dragon's Eye Productions's second MMOG Furcadia.
