If people don't know a game, or haven't played it nearly as much as the one suggesting the game, it's not always going to be much fun. RTSes can be fun, but it helps to find ones in which most people already know the game, in which you don't have waste a lot of time in game setup (.only to be zerg rushed by a computer), and only if most players are relatively balanced, or teamed well to that effect. Battlefield 1942 (and some mods, Desert Combat seems a favourite).Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (free, mac+lin+osx).Quake - 3, 2, or even quake1 (winquake) (with some work runs even more places than UT99).World of Padman - FPS (free, win+lin+osx).Cube2 - Sauerbraten (FPS) (free, win+lin+osx).UT03/UT04 with details tweaked down runs on a lot too and looks better (win, lin, mac).UT99 will run on almost any hardware (win, lin, mac).Unreal Tournament (pretty much any version).Tremulous - (FPS with RTS influences) (free, win+lin+osx)įree for all-ish (possibly with CTF, etc.).gang garrison (2D FPS - team fortress and 8-bit style) (free, win).Things that fall slightly outside the category but are interesting and mostly instant-playable, like Picking map circulation, mutators and such ahead of time (where applicable) may be nice, and be more fluid then 'oh yeah, sorry, reconnect um, wait a minute'.

Some games are primarily seen with a specific mod that make it more fun.

Mods can sometimes bring out neat gameplay. It may be useful to consider how respawning and missions work, how team play works, how much you can mess with things. There are endless lists of FPS/combat games, most of which are roughtly the same in multiplayer.

Worms 2 - can be picky about running under newer windows variants.Worms 1 - can run fairly well in dosbox (for me needed CPU setting tweaks before it ran smoothly).cultris - many-player tetris (free, win+lin).Note that DosBox runs on windows, linux, and OSX, and has its own IPX-over-IP layer.Įven hot-seaters and both-on-one-keyboard games can be fun - think Scorch, Worms and their clones (hot-seat worms may be handier than networking if you're all there anyway), Rampart, and whatnot. You may wish to avoid games that not everyone can run (not everyone has latest-directX-version graphics cards), or play with you (e.g. RTSes work only if everyone knows it, and the games aren't too long. (say, UT with mutators can make it interesting) You may want to avoid playing a single game for very long.Ĭaffeine and adrenalin are staples, but but simple yet hilarious games (alcohol optional) work well too (can be anything, from Worms, to Bomber Man to some random multiplayer Flash game).įPSes tend to work, but tend to it helps to have more than one, or variants, as playing the same balance for long gets boring. Some variation in the amount of concentration and thinking you have to do is nice. Simpler games are often best - easy setup, little to learn. 3.5 Distributed backup things - rsync, dropbox.2 Maximizing gameplay time potential problems.
