    Question LAN Games

    My brother is at Uni in Hull and the house he lives in has 5 networked machines in which they play LAN games together... well a LAN game... and they're all now bored of Age Of Empires Conquerors.

    I've suggested they look at Warcraft III, they're probably bored of HL/CS by now too and they would consider pretty much anything cheap (students see). They also only have dial-up so downloading stuff isn't possible (hence the cheapness is needed even more!).

    What can you guys suggest please? Thanks.

    Operation flashpoint GOTY edition from play.com
    7.99 pounds delivered, includes all expansions, missions editor, has coop missions, millions of missions on internet (with tiny files needed too, so fine on 56k). Its quite old so runs on older pcs too. Has vehicles, choppers, etc. Great fun.

    My mates copy cam with 2 cd keys, although i am not sure if that is common occurence.

    battlefield 1942 is great on LAN aswell as desert combat mods, but only 5 PCs isnt really enough for a good game with the maps being so big so i'd suggest either the original UT (not that UT2k3 BS) or warcraft or similar.
