On-line retrogaming tourny?

Post by **durkada** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 6:06 pm

I'm wondering if there is any interest in an online retrogaming tournament for the racketboy crowd.

I can certainly think of three games I'd like to play again:

Worms: Armaggeddon
Bomberman Online (not the Dreamcast -- a PC version which looks as if its comprised of SNES sprites)
M.U.L.E. via killera (four player goodness)

I would play bomberman online, but I've never heard of that version you mention before.

Well that was lazy of me -- here is a link to the proggy. Apparently the graphics got an overhaul since I last looked -- http://z3.invisionfree.com/Bomberman_On ... howtopic=4

is there any way of using mame for multiplayer? I think it would be cool to play all of those 4 player games(ninja turtles!) again with real people! The fighting games would be cool also.

you can use kailler on mame32k for that. It takes a semi beefy connection for some of the games last time I checked though.

I wouldn't mind playing bomberman online. I don't enjoy M.U.L.E. tho. What version of Wurms armageddon would we be using? Is that for PC?

I just tried bomberman but I can only access Europe. Are there any other servers available?

I couldn't see my opponent move, Only the bombs they were setting

Where did you get bomberman from? The mirror gives me a broken download, the main one won't let me download and the torrent got stuck

I was able to download from the mirror, But the original link was broken for me. I can email you the program if you like.

I'm trying to send it to you now, But 5 times and it won't work

Do I have to rename it from an exe file?
