my dad's ancient parallel cables
With a null modem? I had same setup with my college roommate in our apartment. This was mid 90s, so it was Doom 2 and other FPS from that time.
Great memories.
- karim79 3y agoIndeed. My brother and I played starcraft using the same trick. When the fight started to escalate and there were hundreds of units fighting, the lag got really really bad, but it worked well enough that we kept coming back to it. That and Warcraft 2, Heretic, Hexen, all the rest. The best days in gaming IMO.
