3D Mailbox: Turn your email into a weird Sims game. With zombies.

3D Mailbox is sort of like what we all thought email was going to be like, back in 1997 or so. Instead of just checking your inbox the normal way and sending spam to some boring old trash folder, 3D Mailbox turns your email into a really weird (yet paradoxically rather dull) video game.

3D Mailbox offers three different "levels." In Level One, your email is transformed into a virtual Miami Beach, with good email depicted as bikini babes and spam depicted as fat guys. You can watch your sexy lady email take "disinfecting showers," or you can feed your fat guy email to the hungry sharks waiting just offshore. Here's a trailer:




Level Two turns your email into planes coming in at LAX. Here in LA we do everything we can to avoid a trip to LAX, so a virtual LAX is just about the last thing I'd want on my desktop. (Although having email from the government arrive on Air Force One is a cute idea, I'll admit.)



Then there's Level Three, where you're in a small town fighting off a plague of spam zombies (or "spambies.") OK, that idea is kind of awesome, there's no denying it. Unfortunately it's the least impressive trailer of the three:



That level is also not currently available, and there's reason to doubt it ever will be. The site's copyright date is 2007, and it seems like about that long since it's been updated.
