1237.0. "Two player/two ST games" by WARNUT::KAYD (WORM-mode noter) Thu Jan 23 1992 09:04

Does anyone have a list of games which support two ST's (one for each player)?

I'm sure I saw a list either in here or in the GAMES notesfile, but I can't 
find it anywhere. I've done a directory search on 'Two', 'Multi', 'player',
'games' etc. and it's nowhere to be seen.

Please can someone point me in the right direction, or fill the detail in
in reply to this note ?

The games I could think of were:

Populous
Falcon
Powermonger (?)
Populus II (?)

Some of the flight sims must support this feature, but I couldn't think
of any apart from Falcon.

If I want to play these games with two ST's next to each other, what type
of cable do I use between the two comms ports (null modem ?)

Cheers,

    Derek.

1237.1	MidiMaze with Midi cables	UPROAR::EVANSG	Gwyn Evans @ IME - Open DECtrade	`Thu Jan 23 1992 11:29`	1

1237.2	Midimaze II	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeffrey A. Lomicka	`Fri Jan 24 1992 15:25`	3
	MidiMaze II is free (shareware, I think). I should upload it. It's GREAT! It's your basic Midimaze, plus it includes various powers that you can purchase with the points you scored shooting up your friends.

1237.4	Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge II	WAYOUT::CLARKE	The Cat in the Hat comes back.	`Mon Feb 17 1992 11:29`	7
	This supports 4 simultaneous racers (2 players with a split screen on each ST.) Null modem cable required. Aston PS This game is a real goody for driving freaks. I have played with 2 players and that gets pretty fast so 4 players should be quite something...
1237.5	BattleChess	UBOHUB::SHELDON_R		`Thu Mar 05 1992 04:47`	5
	Battlechess can be played by two players on separate ST's, via a modem. It's great fun and the game is good too. Rob.
1237.6	Steer your way to lunacy	FILTON::SMITH_T		`Mon Jan 18 1993 12:01`	10
	Microprose Grand Prix 26 people can play this at the once albeit not actually at the same time. The software does some automatic driving for you while its not your go at the wheel. The graphics and gameplay are staggering!!!! Usual Microprose Top Value Software.
