Okay, it's not strictly a forum contest, but it's a thought I've had for a while.

You know that many games nowadays are multiplayer? And you know that great big thingy called the internet that we're on? We could combine them y'know. Have some Quake deathmatches, X-Wing dogfights, Birth of the Federation...er...buildshipshoot fights. Anyone interested? Formally or informally?

I'd be interested in a Descent or Descent II battle, if I ever get my computer back from those who are taking forever to fix it...

Oh yeah, add Freespace to that list too...

Any other games?

How about Starfleet Academy? I never could get multiplayer to work on that...

I own WarcraftII.

Although, I might suggest Alpha Centauri...we must stop the evil minions of Sol from taking over.

Ahh! *hides*

Okay, could everyone just print up a list of say 5 games that they own, and which of them they'd love to play multiplayer the most?

Like this: *ahem*

X-Wing (Alliance or TIE Fighter, wanna play)
Birth of the Federation
Star Wars: Supremacy/Alliance
Starfleet Academy (I suppose)
And whatever game I buy next.

See? easy.

The only multiplayer game I'd want to play is Civ II Gold, although I think I have Descent II around somewhere also.

I assume you mean those playable over Kali. The only Kali games I have that I know of are Warcraft I & II and Descent II. Anyone know whether Galactica is Kali compatable?

*realizes that only Sol and TSN are going to know about that game, as it's Mac-only*

Too bad. It's a great game.

Oh YEAH. Sorry. Been so long since we had that particular debate that I'd forgotten. Shadow, not Sol. Just out of curiosity, are Frank, TSN, and I the only Mac users here?

TSN isn't a Mac user either, actually. I guess his, uh, apparent stunning intelligence and seemingly-good decision-making threw you off.

"apparent stunning intelligence and seemingly-good decision-making" are characteristics of Mac users? Maybe AFTER they buy one, realize their mistake and get a PC.


I'm sorry, but Macs have NEWBIE written all over them, especially iMacs. Stupid colors and hockey-puck mouses, Yeeeccchhh!

I think Murphy had Macs in mind when he said "Make a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it."

You're probably just jealous because your computer isn't blue.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
 
Y'know, it's impossible to organise anything around here.

Anyway Frank, you're just jealous because your computer can't also function as a make-shift fire-place. Mainly fire though..

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
 
Huh? Who's the other Mac user, then? When we had the IBM vs. Mac debate when I first got here seven or eight months ago, there were two Mac users besides me. One was Frank, and I could have sworn that TSN was the other.

And I hate iMacs. I'll take one of those G3 towers any day. It's a real, upgradable comp with a real keyboard and mouse, but it's that cool color of blue!

Back to the subject at hand: I'll have to register Kali, but I'd love to get into multiplayer Warcraft.

Best place for Warcraft is Heat.net, as well as many other games....its also free!

PC only, too. Anyone know if I can find I free network where I can play Mac games online?

I belive that was me. I love the Mac. Although for price reasons, I must use a cheap-ass pc at home. But I have a kick-butt G3 at work.
