    Ive been hearing about this title for years, and I have never had the opportunity to play it. Now that I finally got around to trying MineCraft, I think its time to give this one a shot too. Catch myself up a bit.

    Doom on DOS had multiplayer LAN (and dial-up modem, IIRC) support. Ages before Marathon. With all the horribleness of IPX -- but it had it, and it worked.
