Originally called WorldsAway, VZones is the latest incarnation of a virtual world whose roots go all the way back to the very first visual virtual world, LucasFilm's Habitat (launched in 1985 for Commodore 64 machines). VZones maintains the original Dreamscape world developed by Fujitsu, plus two other worlds called newHorizone and Second Kingdom that must be accessed and paid for separately.

The VZones worlds are colorful 2D environments made up of screen after screen of artistically rendered backdrops. Avatars can be customized with a variety of human body types. More creativity is allotted to the heads, which are interchangeable and infamously prone to being stolen and pawned by head thieves (a problem that can easily be avoided by putting your extra heads in your "pocket"). The three VZones offerings are quite different so it's important to choose the one that appeals most to you:

Dreamscape: Getaway environments like beaches, underwater exploration, shopping malls, and casinos make up this world.
newHorizone: A collection of urban environments that are virtual versions of cities like London and New York, this world is home to younger VZones residents.
Second Kingdom: A fantasy-themed virtual world with a combination of traditional roleplay of RPG's and the social aspects of a chat space.
