I've been thinking about this for ages. I think it would be smashin' fun to play some games with you guys here.

My MSN is in my profile of course, if anybody want to chat for details. I've got an ICQ too now, gotta check if I've added that one.

So, if anybody's interested, here are the games that I'm currently playing:

Doom 3

ALL the games on Valves Steam. (CS, Source, Half-life2 e.t.c)

Quake 2

Soldat (very addictive game, grown a bit tired of it now tho)

Some various emulated SNes-games - Street Fighter is da chiznit.

FarCry 1.1

Anybody up for some smackin'?

Ok, I notice that there hasn't been much interest in this thread. But I'm going to ask one last time, just to see if there's really not any takers:

Is there really not anyone here currently playing any of these games over the internet? If not, then what are you playing?

World of Warcraft?

How can U play SF2 over the internet? - I only thought using SF2, 25th aniversary edtion on xbox live was currently the only way?

On the subject, ive been play Battlefield 2 beta a bit, but unfortuantly, i need a new computer...

Emulators baby. I take it an emu-man such as yourself is familiar with Zsnes? The latest few versions of it has had internet-support, up to 16 people, if your game supports it. (to my knowledge only worms supports that many players on snes.)

So you can play any multiplayer game for snes on the net, including the good ol' Super Mario World!

(alltho it's quite difficult palying that with your keyboard, you need a pad. Mario's so damn fast)

well its been a while since any old SNES game was booted up via zsne, so it does MP now, thats very groovy... hmm snes pad support...

It uber-groovy. Except if you save and load during a multiplayer-game, so you and yer pals can continue on where you stopped in say, TMNT Turtles in Time, it has a tendency to only load the guy who's server and the other fellas still start at the beginning.

I haven't tried the loading thing on the latest version tho.

Sounds interesting?

The first few versions after the shift from Dos to windows were dodgy, but lately it's become better and better. (it's still available for Dos, and Linux also.)

recently ive been downloading EVERY mame game, for my arcade cabnit im making

Ah. Mame I've heard of it. I've understand it that it like, emulates not one, but several platforms? And they're all arcade??

its essentially an arcade emulator - most arcade boards ran off the same cpu so they are easy to emulate, more modern stuff of course cannot be emulated

but either way i prefer it over game machine emulators because its generally stuff u couldnt get in the home.

Its also good for emulating, street fighter etc, capcom fighters up to the year 03 and even the great metal slug series, up to this year.

all good really, and very easy to use
