VERGE (vecna's Extraordinary Roleplaying Game Engine) was a game engine coded by Benjamin Eirich (vecna) in 1997. It had a pretty active community in its day. Hundreds of little games, demos, and strange toys were written with it.
As the original engine was a DOS application, it is getting harder to play these old games on modern computers. The VERGE archive includes a WASM port of the original engine plus copies of many of the most popular games so you can play them from whatever device you happen to have.
