This reminds me of [Silent Death Online](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BvgxDCbZxE). I went looking for it again about a year and a half ago, and I ended up looking into how it might get recreated, with a modern free software twist. Perhaps, something like: [ShootR]( https://github.com/ntaylormullen/shootr), [purescript-asteroids](https://github.com/waterson/purescript-asteroids), and [multiplayer pacman](https://github.com/hdgarrood/multipac/).

This project is in its early stages but was ultimately developed to showcase some of the capabilities of Microsoft's Asp.Net SignalR. Most of all it's open source: https://github.com/NTaylorMullen/ShootR so feel free to pick it apart as you will. A SS to let you see what it's like: http://i.imgur.com/9XrX0.png.
