Could it be possible

Old Games like doom/quake genre or golf game like minimaniacs etc. Something that can be played in windowed mode so you can still browse etc mid game while staying in the game for a chat etc. would be nice if we could get a SRP league going for the game also :)

Any ideas or am I barking up the wrong tree?

A SRP golf league sound too perfect and gentlemanly, I'd be in but....


Damn dial-up:shrug:

I've Played all the Quake games online now since they first came out. I stopped with Q3 last year to go back to Quake1 (quakeworld), this proved to be silly because everyone is so much better now than when I left. Not sure if this machine I have now would run Q2 any good. Last pc was powerful and fast but it fried and warranty dispute is taking forever :(
Try Quakeworld and I'll join you on that Morturn :)

DID I HEAR GOLF????


I would be game. I always liked Doom, (never played anything but the original). Duke Nukem (don't know if that is an online game), Diablo, ...

You all just let me know.

Or maybe a poll on what games people already have, and go with the most popular.

How about this game http://minigolfmaniacs.sourceforge.net/
A friend has a help page on this so read this first: http://golf.mywhores.net/

When can we play?

I'm trying to get it set up on my machine right now.

every time i go to this minigolf site the download servers are off line. Is there some time which is better than others to set this up?

Anyone play online poker here?
A micro-limit game would be a blast.

I have decided not play online games. Ever.
I am fairly certain (and my wife agrees :rolleyes: ) that I would get addicted very rapidly.

I used to be into adventures when I was youngers: space quest 1..7, kings quest 1-4, Leisure suit larry...
Later on I was into Doom, quake, duke nukem, unreal, castel wolfenstein

It was bad enough but at least with those games you have the option to save a game, stay away for a week and pick up where you left.

with modern multiplayer games, the games are always evolving. Plus you are dealing with real people so if you belong to a clan or such, you are expected to play regularly. Plus the worlds are so vast that you need to play a lot if you are an exploring kind of player.

If I started playing world of warcraft, I think it would end badly for me, marriage-wise. :nono:

I have a 55" HDTV with a 700 watt 6.1 surround sound system and my xbox does just fine, I have no complaints at all. My only complaint is that all the new games are coming out on xbox360.

Here is my complaints about xbox and xbox360:
1. xbox in general, if you want to play 2 player vs or coop you have to play xbox live. On the large majority of games playing 2 player while sitting in the same room on 1 xbox is not a possibility.

2. the 360 just had a $1,000,000,000 (yes billion) recall, so Im not very interested in buying one right now.


The PS3 does look interesting, but I am going to wait until my xbox dies before I buy something else. I often think, gee why dont I just buy the damn xbox360 once the new units ship after the recall issue, but then I think for $400.00+ I could by a very nice new razor (there now this thread can stay in the general section) :nj

Get a Wii! I have one and it's a blast; for $250, it's practically a steal as far as consoles go. I don't get to play mine as often as I'd like, but when I do it's great fun.

One of my buddies has a Wii and thinks it is just great. You don't just sit there a press buttons, but actually move your body to play. That is just too cool. I was thinking about getting one for my daughters, since there are more kid friendly games for Nintendo, and playing a Wii is not so sedentary as other consoles.
