Homeland

Homeland is a role-playing game developed and published by Chunsoft for the Nintendo GameCube. It ships on two discs: one containing a standalone single-player quest and another dedicated to its distinctive online mode.

Inspired by the structure of tabletop role-playing games, the online mode allows one player to act as the gamemaster. Rather than joining the adventure directly, the gamemaster controls the game world, spawns monsters, views player statistics, and sets up events. The gamemaster’s GameCube functions as the server, supporting up to 36 participating players over the Internet or a LAN.

Online servers were shut down on April 30, 2007, while the single-player mode remains playable offline.
