Hmmm... Are you talking about amiga-specific games or Cross-platform games? Amiga-specific ones include DynaMite, and iirc Foundation, Napalm, Earth2140 and Freespace all include TCP/IP gameplay, so while there won't be servers to look up, you could connect directly to another amiga playing them... Cross-platform ones include Quake, Quake II, Heretic II (I think), possibly Earth2140 and Freespace, FreeCiv, and probably others I can't remember at the mo...

Welcome Daedalus, don't see many of my fellow countrymen here :-)

Yep all fine games there, As times goes on and more games are made for the next gen Amiga, we will see more Multiplayer/internet gaming for it.
Amigas domination wasnt exactly in the highs of the internet/multiplayer era unfortunately.

Not sure about Napalm internet play though, local linkup only maybe?

  I am not sure if this counts but Tales of Tamar, it is an RPG that I think may be Play by mail or Internet playable.  Several turn based games exist that are non platform specific which are like modified versions of bbs games. ;-)

Amiga-Online-Games.de (http://www.amiga-online-games.de/) lists all Amiga games that feature some sort of networking support (Modem, Nullmodem, TCP/IP...).

Just click on "Networktype" and then select TCP/IP to get all games listed that can be played over the Internet

No, though wouldn't that be excellent??  As I understand it, though, lag is the serious enemy of networking the current core of Stunt {Car|Track} Racer.  Personally, I'd LOVE to see a modern version of it, with a little nicer graphics, smoother tracks, better computer AI, and maybe a 4 or 6 racer option.  Serious FUN is still left in the concept, I believe.

I talked to a guy some years ago, and he wanted to do a sort of serial device thingy that, instead of using the serial port, did some TCP/IP thing, so Serial communications were emulated.

Don't know if he ever got it working, but the idea is great, if it could work, then games like stuntcar racer could be played via internet.

Hmmm any one up for the challenge of doing such a device ??
