HOST (2007)

HOST is a 2007 Multiplayer Flash Game where you can challenge family,friends or your colleagues on a up to 4 player fighting game where you play as a HOST,a creature made of skin,bones and muscle.The Player can also customize their HOST with various cosmetics.There are 4 maps the player can play on,these being "The Marshy Islands", "The Gulch" , "The Downs" and "The Perches".

HOST was actually the first in a family of Online Multiplayer Games with a "Virus" theme.the others being :

GRUB,a game where you play as a colony of maggots trying to defend a Kankerling's Corpse from the enemy Maggot team while trying to eat theirs and was programmed by Josh Tuttle,better known as PsychoGoldfish.Some years ago,Edmund McMillen,the artist of the game and mastermind behind the Badlands,prototyped another version of GRUB with Tyler Glaiel.It is speculated to come out after Mew-Genics is released.GRUB was going to play like a Real-Time-Strategy game with inspirations by Plants Vs Zombies in the resource gathering system.

BACTERIUM,a game where you are a virus trying to take over the Host's body.It was programmed by Eli Piilonen,programmer of Spewer,another flash game.Very little is known and development only lasted a month.The idea was born when Edmund McMillen sketched a idea of the game into a piece of paper,and liked it.However,the translation from the idea into a game just produced a not as fun game as he hoped,so it was cancelled.
