Best small LAN game

Friday afternoon, all is quiet in the office. Whats the best game to get going?

Tetrinet, Fracas and BaboViolent have all been used with varying success.

Anything else?

Tank Mania?

CS / Doom possibly?

I know we used to play Doom in school, dunno if we ever played MP though...

Here is a nice choice of flash-based games

I always used to like Lightbikes (a la TRON). But I think it only ran on Windows 98 and below, and required IPX.

Hearts (used to be bundled with windows 98, 2000 too possibly)
But most definitely Red Alert 2

Unfortunately they're not LAN games.

I'd rather it not be an FPS, we're going more towards PC forum there

Champ Man?

Not easy to obtain at work though

Phate · 31 Oct 2007 at 12:46

Starcraft.

Didn't they make the original free to download?

Soldat was a great game, though I've not played it in over a year. From the screenshots it looks like it has changed a bit since then.

jakeke · 31 Oct 2007 at 12:52

Warsow (http://www.warsow.net) or Red Alert 2!

Alchemy · 31 Oct 2007 at 12:53

It can only be CS.

Gilly · 31 Oct 2007 at 12:57

Really? I was sure CS was an FPS :rolleyes:

paradigm · 31 Oct 2007 at 13:02

I was sure LAN games should be in the PC gaming forum

One rule for one eh

Try playing trackmania, thats always a laugh in our office at lunchtimes

Feef · 31 Oct 2007 at 13:05

Definitely Soldat if you can find an old enough copy, the screenshots do look a bit different now...

I remember going to Lans when I was younger, everyone with their extreme overclocked PCs ready for UT, CS or whatever, and just sitting playing Soldat for 3 days
