Most unrelated thread of the month!

So I'm playing games like age of empires. But also open source alternatives like 0ad using lan. Works great!

I'm talking the old school age of empires and age of mythology games btw.

Next, there are also good need for speed games like need for speed 3 hot pursuit from 1998. Which works very well via lan.

Maybe red alert also works, or open source alternatives like OpenRA. And then we have games like Planetary annihilation, which also have lan feature.

Farcry 1 and 2 have Lan support.

SWAT 4.

SWAT 4 - $4.99

Four player co op PvE tactical shooter.

Have all players install this mod which completely revamps the game to add a ton of more modern features

Oh, I’ll add on to this one that Rainbow Six 1 and 3 have been some of the best co-op games I’ve ever played, and both have LAN. The second game isn’t readily available for sale anymore. Even that first game involved editing a lot of level config files in order to circumvent bugs, but it was a great time.

Diablo and Diablo 2 (not Resurrected)

I think Diablo 2 even came with an extra disc specifically so you could give it to your friend to play via LAN. Then these fuckers removed the option in Resurrected even though they promised they wouldn’t.

StarCraft and the old Warcraft games work via LAN as well.

Quake, Doom, Unreal (Tournament), Half Life

LandedGentry,

StarCraft you could use the same disk to “spawn install” to play with your friends. I think they could only play as Terran though.

I was playing on Sinclair spectrum and BBC b computers in the 80s but this kinda rings a vague bell. I’ll ask my brother and get back to you if he remembers anything

HiroProtagonist,

Thanks

The freebies haven’t even been worth the trouble for a long time

dinckelman,

Tim has to pay out of pocket, for every license we claim, so i’ll continue claiming them out of spite

Gullible,

I wouldn’t have found “Dredge” without it, so I’m grateful. I’d had a hankering for a fishing game for years and it was finally sated by that little ditty

Lupus,

I also recommended ‘Dave the diver’, had a jolly good time with it.

Gullible,

That’s interesting, I’ve never seen a spear fishing game with such cute graphics. I’ll give it a look!

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Damn, I missed it. I thought I caught every freebie during the last year.

Trainguyrom,

There have been a few i was genuinely excited for but I’ve also been collecting them regularly so there’s a lot I’ve never played and probably won’t ever play plus fun ones I enjoyed

5in1k,

The Jurassic Park one this week is the worst one I have seen.

I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).

Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.

The OST is amazing. I did this mission where you use the Flamethrower to burn some drug fields and the song they used for it is catchy as fuck

I tried to make a Blizzard account recently, just for testing purposes. Literally could not do it. Spent half an hour trying to complete weird math quizzes, at the end of which it would just fail. Gave up.

I had to spend a few months somewhere with no internet connection for a few months. I brought my laptop so I can play games once I really got bored. One month in I try to open the Epic Games launcher it demands that I connect to the internet to give me access to my games. I couldn’t play any of the games on the Epic Games launcher, while Steam just worked offline the entire time.

I don’t even have the Epic Games launcher on my computer now.

TachyonTele,

Pro-tip: You can just open the exe file to play your installed games

Original Diablo or Diablo 2 (not sure about the latter though, haven’t played it yet, lol)

Rai,

Diablo II does support LAN and it’s one of my favorite games of all time.

The remaster, unfortunately, does not support LAN.

“Oh no, we’re not the top choice for games!”
My kids: we have some time, can we play domething?
