Marvel VS online TCG - free download etc

Fileplanet download - don't be fooled, you can download it free once you've registered with them - you don't have to pay for a subscription

The Marvel TCG Online official site

Okay, just to be clear, I prefer playing with real cards to playing online, and there's the free-for-download-and-play OCTGN software available at VSRealms that lets you play with all sets currently released, both Marvel and DC, without having to pay a cent or buy virtual cards, but...

... after spending some time playing around with the new game this morning, I'm of the opinion that it's an excellent tool for teaching people how to play the game. The tutorials walk folks through the basics quite readilly, and while playing it pauses in all the right places and makes you acknowledge acceptance of the right things, or prompts you with your available options, etc.

I may not be planning to buy into this game beyond getting it for a DS (whenever I get around to buying a DS) so I can play with my brothers back in Australia, but you can bet I'll be recommending it as a teaching tool.

If you're vaguely potentially interested in VS, I suggest downloading the game and playing around for a bit.

Gday

Make sure you have a great amount of free time, then- I'm on a cable modem and it still is going to take about 12 hours... :(

Cool! Downloading it now. I liked this game. Playing it with real cards was a blast.

Is anybody playing this? I downloaded the software for the PC and I love playing. Haven't bought any cards yet but it's something I'm considering.

I love TCGs, and I really like Vs. However I hate buying actual cards as they accumulate extremely fast. Plus, being able to play people all over the world, and experience the different combinations and strategies is awesome.

I with real cards normally; buying virtual cards irks me a little, especially since I spend all my time playing City of Heroes online and wouldn't get much use out of virtual cards. You can still play people worldwide using services like OCTGN, it's just a little clunkier than Konami's product... then again, OCTGN's free.

If I ever get a Nintento DS, I'll likely pick up the game there to play with my brothers back in Australia

I downloaded the game and it was fun. I suck but fun. I hope when I can get some cash to buy real cards, but I just don't really know too much about playing and no one really around here to play with. And if I Built a deck it would be all Punisher. :wub:

I cant download OCTGN :( I get some weird webpage that says
