Cheers, all. Good suggestions.
(especially to steve threlfall - I remember playing Duke two player via a null modem cable, years ago. Had to get my dad to drive my computer over to my mates house  )racing games will work well - I think i have an copy of need for speed HP2 somewhere I'll have to dig out... Got a few C&C games to play too. While I love FPS games, most of the modern ones seem dull when you just have two players. We tried call of duty, but it was really, really dull until we found the behind enemy lines mode - on the battleship that was great! I suppose I could buy another copy of BF1942 and we could play with bots... |

With two you need bots...
Some left field suggestions. Download some freeware network battleships if it exists. In linux Kbattleships Rox. Well. Its fun to hear your friends whine as you sink their submarine. Try a networked version of snake (like tron) I had much drunk fun with a flatmate last summer with a home made version of this. Carmageddon will be o.k. if you can stand the grafixxx today. Just a thought. I wish somebody had made a net version of UFO enemy unknown where one person plays as the aliens. And the other as Xcom....... then again. UFO is my fave game ever. Still fire it up once a year for a whole day. |

With GTA3, and VC you can get a thing called MTA. This allows mutliplayer, is fun, but no bots.
Battlefield 1942, and desert combat are good (64 bots) Half life 32 bots (jumbot) on crossfire is pretty insane Counter strike Day of defeat Need for speed: hot pursuit/underground (havent played on LAN myself) Serious sam - just play on serious, co-op. tis great Shame max payne doesnt have a mutliplayer.

The original GTA was cracking in multiplayer mode! You could have races, deathmatches, and something else I can't remember. Back in the day, I had a P100 desktop and a P120 laptop hooked together via a serial cable for playing that and Quake/Doom/Virtual Pool/Duke Nukem 3D. Lots of fun

Actually. I am giving a presentation this wed. about emulators..
According to nintendo.com the illegal part of emulation is the following.. copying a Rom emulating patented nintendo hardware. Basically breach of copyrights and trademarks - so they can sue anybody ! Even if you own the original cartridge. the act of ripping the data from the rom is considered illegal. Even though copyright allows you to make one backup copy of everything incase the original gets busted. the copyright is broken if your backup is stored in a different format. So it should be o.k. to take a cartridge, read it, and write it to a blank cartridge and then run it on your snes when the original gets busted. but you can't copy it and then use it with an emulator because you are breaking the law in at least 3 places.. "Providing that you own copies of the original games" is pretty much a myth. |
