Some friends and I used to have gatherings to set up MIDI-rings and play MIDI-Maze for hours. I'm having difficulty remembering, but I think we sometimes had as many as eight players. The more players, the more likely the dreaded "MIDI-ring boo-boo" would interrupt a game. I wrote a map designer in GFA Basic, and I recall we had a bunch of custom maps as a result.
Definitely a spiritual precursor to DOOM on a LAN.
