I don't know why I didn't make this post earlier on thse forums, since this is one of those questions that keeps me visiting this site :)

What are some of the old-ish games (or just games with relatively low requirements) that are awesome for LAN'ing, or at least hot-seat games (although there's plenty of those and I'm more interested in LAN). They do not necessarily have to be abandonware.

For me and my friends - we still enjoy a bit of AOE2 at my house and will soon get a bigger LAN going with it. A couple of the games I want to try over LAN are Fallout Tactics and Operation Flashpoint. Fallout Tactics is because I was really looking forward to the promised head-to-head multiplayer in Commandos 3 and was very dissapointed when they only had co-op for multiplayer. Then, I heard that Fallout Tactics has a multiplayer mode that's similar to what I wanted. Operation Flashpoints - want to try it because it's a pretty good sniping game, and I love sniping over LAN, and Delta Force 1 and 3 get boring quite quickly.

Check out Heroes of Might and Magic. The whole HoMM series are great fun in multiplay.

close combat 2. amazin game.

very active community at

www.tournamenthouse.com for all clsoe combat games. :D

HoMM 2 :D
Other than that, worms armagheddon :sneaky:

HoMM3 is one that I used to enjoy with hot-seat but BOY does that game get boring and repetitive after about 5 hours of playing it straight. I don't mean that I'd stop playing it after 5 hours and then resume the next day, but rather that after playing it for a long time straight, I do not want to play it for another half a year...

Close Combat series - good idea :) Haven't LANed those, as far as I can remember, but the concept is interesting.

Worms - tsall about Worms World Party :D The 3D one isn't too bad, either.

HOMM 3 is great and with the Wog is greater

Personally HOMM2 followed closely by HOMM3. :D :D
HOMM1 was a bit too slow for my liking and could easily take forever!:blink:

Then Worms2 followed closely by Worms Armageddon. :D
Not really much between these two, I just generally prefer Worms2!

Well, I generally like strategy games a lot, especially for multiplaying. But I'm missing a few titles here like The Settlers, Starcraft and warcraft. If u ask me they r more fun than the turn based games like HoMM :tomato: .

Arma goes nostalgic

Well there's certainly more STRATEGY in HOMM titles than in starcraft/warcraft which is based on the who clicks faster system.

What can i say..

GO PLAY

heroes of might and magic 3!!!

tHAT WAS so great togheter :angel:
