Takamo Universe (the New Takamo)

TAKAMO UNIVERSE is a strategic science fiction Massive Multiplayer Online game (MMO) set in a persistent universe based on the original TAKAMO, a play by mail game that was launched in 1982. TAKAMO ran for fifteen years and was redeveloped as a play by e-mail game in the late 1990s and then operated in its e-mail format until 2005. TAKAMO UNIVERSE is currently in development.

TAKAMO UNIVERSE is set in the rich background of the old galaxies of TAKAMO. The history of the Five Galaxies permeates the atmosphere of the new game with ancient empires, archives and equipment scattered across the stars.

Your empire will stretch across the solar system.
