While the game is nearly forgotten today, its DNA can be seen all across the gaming industry, with many of its innovations now commonplace.
I’ve been trying to figure out the name of this game for a long time. My roommate played this in college and he loved it. It was fun to watch him play and interact with it.

Yeah, Majestic was incredibly interesting because it was an attempt to create an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that was more than just a marketing campaign and could support itself financially. Its failure led to ARGs being abandoned as standalone games and ARGs mostly remained marketing which - ultimately - led to a slow, but inevitable decline of the ARG as a genre when the marketing money dried up.
