  1. Sanctum

    Sanctum is a two-player computer collectible card game, played online against human opponents. Players log into a "Game Lobby" to find other players to challenge to a match. It runs on the Windows operating system. It was developed by Digital Addiction in 1997, and was launched to public participation on July 9, 1998. At its peak, the game had over 1200 active participants. Registered users reached 82,000 by 1999, and by May, 2000 had over 100 thousand registered users. It was one of the first online trading card games, and received many favorable reviews. The virtual "collectible cards" included common, uncommon, and rare, with different powers, in-game functions and artwork. They did not exist as actual physical cards but they were owned and traded in an online account, and were played solely within the virtual environment of Sanctum. A registered player was given a certain number of free cards to play, and additional cards could be purchased through Digital Addiction's online card store. The game had a devoted user following, with player clubs and cabals, tournaments and prizes, secondary card markets, fan fiction, trivia contests, and dozens of fan web sites.
