Server Quest – The IT Pro Online Game
Are you an IT Pro who likes to game a little? Me too, especially retro games from my early days growing up with Pong, Atari 2600 and Intelliviion (I just dated myself there). Well just when you thought your eyes had finally healed from years of straining to make out pixelated adventure game graphics, Server Quest rolls into your browser like an avalanche of early nineties gaming action. Originally launched for the American IT Pro community, the game has become a little viral and spread worldwide (as you can see by the map on the Leader board page).
In the game, as an IT Pro you’ll have to dig deep into your surroundings, solve puzzles, and uncover Easter Eggs and mini games that will help you inch your way closer to the prize—and closer to carving your name into the annals of geekdom. Here is the basic scenario for the game:
The company’s resident IT professional extraordinaire has just returned from a much-deserved vacation but, in a temporary spell of relaxed judgment, has jeopardized their reputation with a poorly placed email and forwarded personal holiday snaps to the entire staff. Now they have to excavate through the email chain to find the offending photos – all while keeping the office online.
In Server Quest II, the sequel to last year’s pixellated adventure, players must hone their technical prowess in order to prove once and for all why the tech pros take the cake. From software support to sidequests, players will get behind the curtain and live the life of a server genius fighting for respect.”
Have fun and get your geek on! (but don’t let your boss see)
