Hello,
i love to see a fan from dos games and enjoy your podcast. Here are my list of simulteanous two player games you forgot to mention:
Apogee Whacky Wheels( Combat oder Racing ;))
MegaPhoenix
SuperKarts
Speed Haste
Oh, i forgot BlueBytes Settler.
I have good memories of playing Quake, over free server hosts in the UK. Heat, Ten and gamespy were really expensive – there were a few hosts for free, mainly based in the UK. On a 56K network the game ran pretty fluid. I played once until 6am in the morning and still didn’t get more than 10 kills per game, some of those player were amazing could dodge grenades and rockets. I never played Duke over network, but did play 3 player Duke 64, it was OK, was quite sluggish though.
Get your DOS machines on the internet and telnet to nethack.alt.org to play the ascii-graphic dungeon crawler Nethack! But read the manual first, it’s from 1987 and complicated.
The podcast was very good because of your side stories you two brought into it.
