Multiplayer Games For Christmas Lull at the Office?

smallstepforman asks: "Christmas is almost here, and most companies will be running a skeleton staff during the holiday period. Since there will only be 8 people in the entire building where I work, you can guess what we'll all be doing - multiplayer LAN gaming. The team leader (who will be the acting manager for the holiday period) is asking about good games to play during this period. Most of the machines on the LAN are P3@733 with integrated i810 video cards, while some older machines (P2@45) have a Voodoo 3. Which multiplayer games can Slashdot readers recommend? The games need to be easy to pick up, and not require a lot of hard disk space. Free/shareware games or demos should be considered due to legal issues."

Me and my fellow dorm residents pissed away a couple of months back in 1990 when I introduced them to the old DOS version of Scorched Earth. It toppled Lemmings as the most addictive game in the housing unit I was in (Terry Courts, Purdue -- anyone?).

To find a networked version brings tears to my eye.

This One's Great!

It's called "Do Some Fucking Work". Way to power up this economy in time of need. ;)

I've actually always loved working the week between xmas and NYE. There's virtually nobody in the office, so interruptions are kept to a minimum and the hours are slightly more flexible.
