Good Multi Player Games To Play On A Dail-up Connection

[HappyGamer]

Looking for multi player games using dial up connection? :thanx:

[The Fifth Horseman]

I think this question should rather go to the Multiplayer sub-forum.

<MOD POWERS UNLOCKED...>

[Puffin]

Well, WoW requires 56.2K :P

[gregor]

HL1 and it's mods worked preety good on dial up connection.

[Tulac]

I know that you can play Age of Empires 1&2 online using a modem, and probably most of the RTS games.

[PrejudiceSucks]

Any of the Combat Mission Games - they're turn-based, so it doesn't matter that you're on a slow connection, and you can also play them by PBEM.

Deus Ex ( what are your computer specs ) it is really good two teams with about 6 people on a dial up 56k modem. Great, Nsf or Unatco mainly.

Quake 3 I am playing the demo version though :max:


I wonder if i could play a mega drive ( genesis ) game on line just thinking, never will though.

:titan: :cheers: :D

[chainsoar]

Play Counter-Strike and piss everyone off by lagging :P

I am using a pentium 4 2. something gighertz cpu with gforce fx 5200 graphics card and Windows XP os and 512 ram. With a 56k modem.

Also yes you can play mega drive games over the internet. But it is not all that good.



Bwt, That would be funny as heck to play Counter Strike on dial up connection. I sure the people on there would eventually ban me for being so slow.

Heres some more games. :ok:

Swat 4, Theme hospital, condemned ( do not know if multi works on intel gma 900 )

My specs Dell 3100, 512 ram, 80 gb hd, Intel gma 900, Intel p4 pro ht tech 2.80ghz. Win Xp.

I want to upgrade with pci card, it only takes pci or pci express x1 ( not ever pci express X16 ).

But i heartd that the computer cannot get a better graphics card because of vga probs, any one know of some one who sucessfully install one ? :huh:

:tease:

heroes of might & magic series are prolly excelent games to play with dial up and back in the old days i played starcraft & half life 1 mods with my good 'ol 56k and least starcraft worked perfectly

[Mighty Midget]

Then you have "play over email"... You can even do with a homing pigeon, but a dial-up is even greater :)

This goes mainly to turn based strategy games, of course. Reccommended: The Steel Panthers series (freeware).

But If you want other genres, then I guess POEM won't do.

[RedHeadSebbe]

"Police Quest: SWAT 2" don't demand to much I think...It don't look like that kind of game anyway :D

[gufu1992]

C&C:Renegade
fastest internet games in history of gaming(No lag)

[hassaland]

runescape?
you can play the games of redmoon,(knightfight,monstergame,techwarrior,etc)

Yep. Starcraft, Warcraft, C&C etc.

Soldat also goes pretty well.

[BeefontheBone]

NetStorm: Islands at War. 's abandonware, too.

OPEN TTD is the new game, try is very fun

[faeornran]

If you're looking for something like an MMO, try "The Realm." It used to be made by Sierra but was sold to Codemasters, and I have no idea who owns it now... could still be Codemasters. My dad and I used to play it back in the day when we had two 56k connections, but we finally got bored and moved on one day. That's a $5 a month for playing, though. As far as I know the game is still up and running- I almost started playing again late last year.

Another good one is "Dark Ages". Not the Dark Ages of Camelot, but "Dark Ages," by Nexxon. I think that's $10, but fully playable on dial-up and is really fun if you get into the community aspect of it (you can level up by teaching classes on poetry... I did that once XD)

If you're meaning multiplayer of any type, then just look around- there's plenty of em.

Cheers,
