let's play some emulated games together online

[orthicviper]

anyone want to go some rounds of contra, battletoads, and such on some NES/Genesis/SNES?

Looking for players in USA and Canada only, for the sake of good ping/latency.

Neat idea. Unfortunately all my emu stuff is on an old original xbox... that you'd attempt Battletoads multiplayer online suggests you might be a glutton for punishment haha! That game was hard enough when you could communicate with your other player right there on the couch with you...

[orthicviper]

huh? you don't know how to find a ROM?

[te72]

Have a couple thousand of them, just don't use my PC for gaming.

Just thought it was funny, the idea of playing Battletoads, of all games, online. Even one wrong move on that speeder bike level and you're toast...

[orthicviper]

i'm not a masochist. for something that challenging i would support reloading a saved state.

[te72]

Not sure why I haven't gone back and played that one with save states, now that you mention it. I only ever passed the bike level twice when I was a kid, but the game as a whole WAS a lot of fun...

I think you might have a good idea here though. A game like Secret of Mana would be a lot of fun online, since it can be hard to get people all in the same room these days.

Three-player Secret of Mana is awesome when everybody knows what they're doing.

It's a nightmare when somebody doesn't have a clue though, especially if they're playing one of the magic users.

I have been playing roms for sometime but never got onto the "newerish" ones that allow online play. I had no idea this can be done. haha

I never knew it could be done either. I haven’t played roms in some time. At least five years or so. Every now and then I get the urge to play some. I’ll have to give it a try.
