Hi all As for being able to play an opponent over the net I think it's a great idea and have even done a few times with Sound RTS but still would like more chances. I think the difficulty as has been said is the way it is implimented. The suggestion Thomas had of taking turns such as in the Atari games would certainly work fine as the controls could pass between the players. This would enable two or more people to play on one computer. Which was I believe what Nicol was attempting to get at. Playing over a lan works fine as the sounds and other info can be conveyed to both players without any interuption of either persons tactics, instructions or whatever. I think it also as was pointed out depends on the game being played. Granted for a board or card game taking turns is certainly all right. For games where one plays their life then gives the controller over to player two that also works. The crux of the matter is simultainious play of certain genres of games in a way that [and I don't think it matters if there are two players working together or against each other] in hearing what's going on and of course not hearing the particular things you should not here. The idea of two sound cards with headphones could work and I'm not sure how difficult that would prove to program into a game. One other consideration is of course how many of us are with someone who we would challenge to a game of whatever to make the investment of hardware and such worth it. Regardless of the cost of the game the additional equipment would probably be a consideration.
