It’s much more fun to play against a human opponent than a computer. Human players don’t rely on pre-programmed algorithms—they react unpredictably and emotionally. With the spread of modems and falling prices for network hardware, the importance of multiplayer games is growing rapidly. More and more games now include multiplayer modes, and increasingly they can even be played over the Internet.
This unique book explains the requirements for playing via null modem, modem, and network. It introduces the Internet and online services, and presents online games ranging from text adventures and MUDs to multimedia titles like Worlds Away, the virtual city on CompuServe.
A large section is devoted to multiplayer-capable games: board games, racing, strategy, business simulations, or 3D fighting games—something for everyone. The book is packed with tips for the multiplayer mode.
Contents include:
Null modem, modem, and network setup
Tips for multiplayer games
Internet and online services—what they offer, where to find hot game info
Online games like MUDs and Worlds Away
PlayStation as a multiplayer console
Numerous online addresses: developers, software pools, game magazines
Large address directory of game companies, glossary, and illustrations
