As a community of gamers and game makers, it should come as no surprise that we have several of our own video game projects available to play. These games include roleplaying games, first person shooters, puzzle games, and even massively multiplayer projects.

To check out a list of current game projects, click here. Many are in a playable form, if not entirely complete!

Often times, we need to share the games and modifications we create, so we've created the file database as a collaborative tool. Everything from map making tutorials to full games are included in the file database. The file database continues to be a popular feature, and has served up almost half a million downloads.

To access the file database, choose the section and subsection of the database on the left menu.

If there is one game the community loves, it has to be Team Fortress Classic. We have a custom map server set up for the classic Half-Life modification that features almost 500 custom maps.

For more information about the TFC server, see the TFC subsite.

A project under development is Archive Fiction. In this section, we collect high quality original fiction from community members and post it on the site.

We'd love to add your own fiction, so please see the page for information on how you can contribute!

Many of our members chat in our own IRC server, moderated by friendly staff. The IRC room provides a nice place to chat with others. While the chat room may not have active speakers at all times of the day, you can be sure that if you wait for a while, there will probably be someone willing to answer your questions, or even just chat about the news.

For those who know about IRC, the IRC server is irc.editingarchive.com, port 6667, channel #Archive

For those who may need some help, check out this page.

We also tend to say some funny things, which we write down. See the funny quotes!
