This free software is able to establish a link between all players.
The technology used here is able to make you play with many internet users some excellent games that should be known by everyone. :)
Of course it's possible to play using other softwares & methods too (Public Kaillera Servers, Tunngle, EasyVPN...)

What a slap in the face! You want more people to play Amiga games online - BUT - your setup will not work with an Amiga? Nice deal - but I'll pass....

Does seem a bit daft not to have it working with an Amiga but still sounds like a cool idea!

If someone gives these games magically TCP/IP support (from within the game that is) and makes them OS friendly then, sure, you can play them on 68k hardware. Otherwise this is an awesome way to play Amiga games (and other platforms) with other people online!
