Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/ https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!
- n8henrie 2y agoMy son (8) and I have a ton of fun playing OpenRA together! Runs surprisingly well on his old MacBook Air 11" running Manjaro and me on an M1 MacBook Pro.
- random3 2y agoThat’s awesome. I have some friends that I get together with every 1-2 years and always make time for a few hours of StarCraft
- hammock 2y agoOh heck yeah thanks for the heads up about openra
- freilanzer 2y agoOpenRA looks great. > For others to join your game, you must forward a port in your router for them to connect to. By default, OpenRA uses TCP port 1234. You can test this on sites like canyouseeme.org yourself. This however concerns me.
- IIsi50MHz 2y agoSeems to be an instruction for people who are playing over internet, not a LAN.
