Unfortunately, I can't find any record of this program on the internet. I want to enter it in for my own record, to remember what it was.
Talk World was a free piece of software which worked kind of like a 3D first person social game. There were no objectives, there was no mechanic to the game. It was simply a very early way for people to create an avatar and chat to each other online with voice communication and visuals.
Players could upload a headshot of themselves and attach it to their avatar. You could run around talking to other people. The world was broken up into rooms/areas. When you talked into your mic everyone in the same area as you could hear your conversation.
It was pretty cutting edge at the time, but also pretty weird.
