@P1nd-112

Knights of the Sky, Super Skidmarks, Alien Breed 3D, Gloom, xTreme Racing all worked great. That's certainly not an exhaustive list by any means, just the ones I've tried.

These two should just about cover it!!!

www.Amiga-Online-Games.de V4 (http://www.amiga-online-games.de/gamelist.php?menue=STitle&Suchanfrage=%&Attribut=titel)

http://www.acggbg.org/games.html (http://www.acggbg.org/games.html)

and there is also Amiga Online (http://amigaonline.condor.serverpro3.com/) for playing 2 player games (not supporting networkd or link up) using Kaillera!!

someone on here is selling some games on ebay right now and there is Firepower in the bunch and that's good for modem play. i guess by link you mean null modem and i think that works too. if you buy it all you have to send me the "mission briefing" cassette tape!  :idea:

Ohh, just  that I would hit nthe opt. for network play and wait for others to join.  I know there is a host or something, but I'm not doing a step or something. read something about an irc chat room, no luck there.

HBMonopoly doesn't have any centralized server, so no-one knows your're running a server. Basically you must first gather a group of players and then manage the network game yourself (choose who runs the server, other players connect  to the player running the server).

No, a lot of those on the second link are network - for example he Quakes obviously, and Robosport (never played that, but looks quite interesting.

link-up games I've personally tried and would recommend would include PowerMonger, Falcon, The Perfect General and Lotus 2.

PowerMonger

Now that you mention it, Populous was a linkedy up game, too.

Having a look might of been an idea!!

The page on the second link says...

"Here you'll get a list of all the TCP/IP enabled games for Amiga. Well, maybe all, anyway."

and the first list 136 networkable games and specifies which ones are TCP/IP
