Multiplayer emulation?

[Multiplayer emulation?]

I wouldn't need all this network stuff. I loved playing Worms II on the PC as a social event: 3 or 4 people, one PC. Boy did we have fun (instead of working...). Now if only we could play at the same time, instead of each in turn, like Slime World!

Hello guys,

 

I don't play much anymore... but there's just one thing I would LOVE to be able to do... play slimeworld's level 5 with 3 or 4 people sitting around one big PC screen. Everyone could get one quarter of the screen.

 

(Sorry to say but I get a headache looking at the lynx screen.)

 

As far as I know, Handy can't do it, since there's a problem with the networking code. And even if there wasn't, you can't run multiple instances, since they all want to get the same port number.

 

And if one could get them to connect to different port numbers, I wouldn't know how to get all traffic mirrored to the other ports, although I do have a linux box right next to me, which I could probably set up to do the mirroring relatively easily.

 

Any ideas? Well, it's not like I have any time for this sort of thing anyway, but I thought I'd ask the question anyway.

 

Cheers,

 

Wim
