I just had seven friends over a couple weeks ago and we played
Marathon II from around 9:30 PM until 7:30 AM. Only four of us had
played Marathon when it was new (it's still my favourite game), but
even the people who were used to Quake and Unreal had a blast. One
guy was on a 7100 and he wasn't lagging at all.
I've also been thinking about making our house into a level, but
players would beam in so close to each other that it probably
wouldn't work too well.
Also, I can't take screenshots during the game, so I could only take
pictures of the carnage reports. Isn't there an app that lets you do
that?
