Which online games did you like that are no longer around?

I used to love playing Pogo Bowl. I was really good at it, and would spend all day racking up tokens. But then they closed the game down.

I used to play Word Riot on Pogo. Basically in each round, there was a clue giver. So say the room had 20 people in it, when the game would start, a person was randomly chosen to be the clue giver.

Let's say the first word is Car. The clue giver had to give clues as to what that answer was. You could only give a max of 3 clues per word. So things like, steering, tires and windshield. However, this was the wrong way to play the game.

People figured out that if you substituted a letter one letter back for the actual answer... so if the answer was Car, and the clue giver gave the clue as Bzq, the clue giver is giving you the answer, you just have to know to enter the next letter as the answer. A=z, B=a, C=b, D=c etc. etc. I used to play so much that I had this written down and taped to my monitor.

Good game, very toxic people.
