4236.0. "Modem linked games?" by BAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTON (How's it going royal ugly dudes?) Thu Nov 01 1990 04:20

    Hiya,
    
    Recently a friend has got hold of his brothers Amiga for a year while
    his brother does his exams.
    
    :^)
    
    This means we can know link the two together through a null-modem
    cable.
    
    :^))
    
    However I've only found out about 4 games that use this link:
    
    Populous
    Stunt Car Racer
    F-16 
    Battlechess
    
    Does anyone out there know of any others?
    
    Cheers,

    I bought an Amiga on Monday which came with 'Days of Thunder' - adapted
    from the film. You can race against another amiga owner in this game.

    Modem games:
    
    Firepower (MicroIllusions) is a classic tank battle/capture the flag
    game with great graphics and sound.
    
    A friend and I once played for about 8 hours straight.

    re: .3
    
    one of those games is out under a new title, this time you can play
    against the computer or over modem.  Unfortunately, I don't remember
    it's new name.  Saw it at the Memory Location.

    Powerdrome is another game that you can link by modem (although I've
    never used this feature). The game itself is a 3D futuristic race track
    which you fly along. Its incredibly difficult and you can only master
    it using the mouse to control your ship, but still fairly enjoyable.
    
    I've seen this game going for under a tenner on some mail order lists.

    Hello,
    
    An old one you can use with a cable/modem is Flightsimulator.
    
    -Question-
    
    How can you play firepower just with a cable (no modem)?
    I've tried many things but couldn't start it
