True, I envy those who have 5:00 net game sessions! Much less hassle than
hauling your system to another place to play 4 player.. I know Doom has been
banned on many large networks, due to it's poor use of network broadasting.
Supposedly every system- playing doom or not- has to deal with doom's
broadcast, not just the playing nodes. Certainly a net stopper.
If you know of anyone wanting to write a big 3D network game on, say, an
Alpha running NT, let me know. I've got a couple pretty good ideas, but the
programmer I met on CIS seems to have fallen by the wayside.. haven't heard
from him since early December. (don't worry, didn't give him much to work
with)
