Giana Family (also known as "Giana's Multiplayer World") is a 2D multiplayer platform fangame released in August 1998 by Andreas Kahn for the PC and based on The Great Giana Sisters. The game was pretty much popular around 2000, but got forgotten after the site "stud.uni-hamburg.de" have been closed. The game includes an level editor to make your own level. It also can be played on Windows NT with a specific executable called "GianaNT.exe". Gameplay[]The player control Giana or one of her family member and fight against other players in deathmatch levels. Players can collect diamonds and power-ups from bricks and bonus blocks. The game have a training mode for the multiplayer mode where the different maps can be explored alone.

Each player starts with 100 health and every diamond gives 10 health (maximum 200 HP). the player die if it health drops to 0, or by falling out of the map area. Power-ups can be used all the time until the player die or take another one. There is also the Sudden Death game rule which is very different from the previously mentioned. The player no HP and die immediately from every hostile source. While owning a spower-up, it diamonds-total drops each second. If it drops below 0, it loose the power. If the player gain 100 diamonds in a single life, it become invulnerable for 20 seconds, but it'll loose the diamonds at this point.

The site[]From the official site before 2006 : "Do you remember the great old game on C64's times called "Giana-Sisters"? Now it's time to change everything about it! This version brings to you a new feeling of network-gaming... Deathmatch with up to 16 players in LAN's or throughout the internet and you´ll see that this tiny game will bring you real satisfaction in shooting up enemy players. Giana Family v1.4 has been released after 5 years and allows you to play a single player campaign as well as new multiplayer modes: Capture the Flag, Domination & Diamond Fever." In May 14th 1999, Andreas Kahn released a "SuperMario" patch for the game that change the graphics of the game and also including new musics. Giana Family 1.30 was also out with new features (which these features appeare also in 1.48). Unfortunately, nothing can be downloaded in the site except the soundtracks and a older version of the game. The site contain a custom levels page (known as "level zone") from other users (which unfortunately we can't download anything either) and another page called "What's new", this page is a kind of changelog of Giana Family version updates.
