- This is a small lan retro multiplay using 486 dx2 66mhz and a null-modem serial cable. I was playing some ms-dos games with my brother. It was fun.
Doom II is at 8 min.
F1 GP (Microprose) is at 33 min.
F-29 Retaliator is at 49 min.
I used to do this back in the day, before LAN parties were a thing.
Me too! Back in highschool, my best friend had a 486 dx2 66mhz and I helped him carry the pc and monitor to other friend who had a Pentium 75. So with just a simple serial null cable we had a mini LAN party. No drivers or setup needed. We played DOOM deathmatches a lot.
"Old good days!"
Indeed good old days! Things were simple and we had more fun playing video games.
