How about NETWORKING games ?

RetroMan · 15 December 2002, 12:41

Just a future suggestion

Would be nice to have an option to search for games with networking option (Nullmodem, TCP/IP, etc.) !

I've been inserting this sort of information in the notes field for games (e.g. see Heretic II). I was thinking it probably deserves a field of its own, but right now we have got plenty more basic info. missing that needs to be inserted for each game.

Not a very good solution IMHO. By far not as comfortable as a dedicated field.

Well, that's not hard to imagine

Anyway, in a few years

when some of you have some spare time again, you'll hopefully think about a "networking type" field again. Eisblock is maintaining a networking games database, it should be easy to include his information later on.

AFAIK the HOL team, at least as a whole, hasn't discussed whether to include a network option field.

I'll see what the others think. I imagine it would be low priority for inclusion right now given the heavy workload. The lack of response from the other guys to this thread might be indicative of this also.

OK, then I'll respond. My take is simply that if it's added into the database, I will use it on the games that support it. It's all down to what RCK has time for or how complex it is to implement. Otherwise, I don't really have an opinion. It's valid info to include on a game.

Strangely I was thinking earlier today that it would be a good to try and list which Amiga games have a seriel link option as I now have quite a few AMiga lying aroudn and so such options can be taken up. Anyone have such a list?
