Games that are multiplayer via serial link

Would it be possible to have a sub category in "Simultaneous players is" where it is noted if the game supports network/serial 2 (plus) players

Overdrive (Team17) is noted as being single player, but it has 2 player link up... Stunt Car Racer states 2 player and thats a link up game also

any thoughts?

I used to play Armaggedon, Lotus2, Stuntcar Racer and Vroom all the time with my brother via serial link up.

Nice i will try out Lotus2... my daughter plays that so a link game will be cool...

I wish the Alien Breeds were link ups

Just ordered a null modem cable, so my A600 and A1200 can be linked for two player gaming... my daughter and I might do some Amiga Multi-player Gaming videos for youtube... her idea!

Be great to link Super Skidmarks also... I've never done it but I bet it would be great fun.

Bumping an old thread.

We have the field "Simultaneous players" in HOL but it is not useable to filter out networked games.

Can I push for this feature for HOL, I think it would be a great addition and I'll help populate it. Perhaps one or two database fields per entry? (Link up yes/no, link type, inter platform networking e.g. connect to Atari)

There is quite a lot of information already available on EAB and other sites such as Moby

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=59476

Please?

Old thread, but HOL now has this quickmatch: https://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php...e_quickmatch=5
I didn't check the thread properly (just stumbled over it by accident), so please mention any games that are still missing.

Hi.
In case there are MIDI stuff on the serial port of the Amiga, could we still imagine linking up two of them through MIDI cables? If yes, which port IN, OUT or THRU?
I think Atari ST could do some kind of network via MIDI in some games.

Midi Maze.

Because the Amiga didn't have integrated midi there are no games which use midi networks. After all it would be a protocol on top of a protocol

On a related note


Is it possible to have WinUAE running on two different PC's (connected to the same wifi router) and emulate a link connection?
