Cross-Platform LAN Gaming Suggestions?

darkstar2a writes "Back in the dot.com boom years, a bunch of us would crash the empty customer service department for some fun LAN gaming. Nowadays, though, we use our own computers, and have a significant ratio of Mac users - about 55%. This has brought up a huge frustration in finding games that work cross-platform (PC and Mac), and what exactly we need to make them work. We've only been reliably able to get the following working: Unreal Tournament (but the same game can get kind of old after hours of play), 4x4 Evo 2 (which we got cheap and was a great change of pace), Descent 3 (out of print and relatively difficult to locate.) This has to have been covered somewhere, but we've been unable to locate a resource for it. Can Slashdot Games readers help?"

Bungie games

They're a little old, but Myth and Myth 2 are very good for net play. Especially when you start downloading all the fan-created maps.

I remember a really cool Pool Party one with mostly dwarves and wights. It would rain on and off, so big piles of bombs would collect when the fuses were getting put out, then the rain would stop or a bomb would manage to go off...

Yeah, Bungie was really great back then, before getting bought out by Microsoft. Any word on if they're ever going to come out with Halo for PC like they said? And will there be a Mac version?
