Crying!
I do not remember the year. But i think we played dune and command and conquer. using null modem serial port links, and long homemade cables. I had a machine with 3 serial ports. A few years later we upgraded to a thin lan nic using coax and a hub with a coax port. For those with cat cable nic.
Played Red alert, red alert2 then a decade stright of playing CnC renegade and wolfenstein ET on the internet. Then the battlefields series ehile that was fun. Nowdays Helldivers 2 almost scratches that itch. It just needs a 32 player rush mode ;)
I had access to a very similar setup in my friend's older brother's basement. Lots of Need for Speed and Total Annihilation played in that basement ๐ฅน
I forgot about total annihiliation!
Was never big on car games since supercars 2 on amiga ;)
Look up Beyond All Reason for a very competent FOSS remake of TA!
Ohh looks slick. Bookmarking this for later ;) thanks!
