The Glitch I (at the time only known as The Glitch) took is a Play-by-Post Role Playing Game begun by Allen “Dark Steel” Thibodaux“ on the Utopia Kingdom Builder Role Playing Game forums near the year 2000.
Players of the game took on the roles of Video Game characters who were transported to another world (known as a Glitchworld) from ther respective Game Worlds, and made to fight in a war against their the forces of a powerful being known only as “The Glitch”. Due to the nature of the game, traditional opponents often found themselves on the same side of the war - some Heroes and villains decided to fight for The Glitch while some chose to fight against it.
By the end of the game, the characters were returned to their respective homeworlds, and their memories of the events erased.
Major Characters from various Video Games could be found on either side of the conflict of the first Glitch War. Often, these characters chose sides that went against their “normal roles” with Heroes being allied with the Glitch as often as Traditional Villains worked against it's forces. Some of the Major Non-Player Characters involved in the war is below.
