I am going to have a mutiplayer-game party in school this weeekend

What I would like all of you to post is your recommendation on Multiplayer-game that will run on 68K Macs other than the list below ...
  • Spaceward Ho!
  • Marathon 2
  • Spectre
  • Bonkheadz Deluxe
  • Civilization II
  • Deadlock
  • Ares
  • Avara
  • WarCraft II

The best if it's downloadable ...

Thanks ...

Master of Orion II ( s l o w l y ).

I played this on my ancient Performa 575 (33 MHz 68040) when the game first came out, and man did I love it (still play it, though on much better hardware!), though it ran very slowly. It's like civilization, but in space, with much much much better combat and nice graphics. Tons of micromanagement, too.
Be happy.

<font color = red> Two player: </font>
Armor Alley!, Stratega stratego lookalike, NukeSnake.

<font color = red> Multiplayer: </font>
NetRisk, NetTrek, Spectre, Strategic Conquest.

These are all quite fun (there was a net-tron light cycle type game but I don't recall the name of the networkable version for older black and white macs, but there was a later version for color macs --perhaps that one was called BeeBop!?)

If you are interested in any of these ... let me know.

Thanks for all reply ...

The party was just held on this morning ...

I ended up playing Marathon II and Spaceward Ho! only ...

However ... I had a great war in Spaceward Ho!

Imagine that ... over 500 fighters (19/18) VS 19 fighters (19/9) and 9 Dreadnought (19/9) ... who will win?

All are in same speed ...
