2 player games over the internet
Hi All
Does anyone know of any games that can be played on original amigas (expanded a1200s) across the internet. So both running stacks like miami/roadshow. I have seen reference to some such as Battle Duel, and Dynamite (I think) but could not seem to get them to work across the internet. I would like to play a few games even if they are turn by turn ones, but most seem to have been setup for null modems etc. Each a1200 is connected via a PCMCIA LAN card to its router. (Obviously different routers, so not on the same home network) Cheers C |

You might want to take a look at these:
https://www.cbmstuff.com/proddetail.php?prod=WiModem232 http://biosrhythm.com/?page_id=1453 They're WiFi modems. In theory, any game that support serial/modem link could work over the internet. I haven't tried one (yet). One issue would be if the game is timing sensitive because you'll get much more "lag" over the internet vs a direct connection. |

I'm also interested in this. We need some online game for classic Amiga.
It could just be a pong game as proof of concept. Is there some ports that need to be open to make it work on Amiga? |

What problem/errors did you get with Dynamite? Try running Snoopdos if you can and report back. |

Oh I think I could run the game, it was just I couldn't work out how to set up a network game. For some reason I only have the Polish manual?
