This would be a great way to spend some time with other Amiga users.  We should compile a list of old Amiga games (and new ones too) that have the option to be played via an Internet connection, instead of a serial modem or null modem cable.  Then have a section of the forums where people could discuss them and make arrangements to play one another online.

I wonder how difficult it would be to hack the old games that allowed play via modems, or null modem cables to work via TCP/IP online connections instead?  There must have been many dozens of Amiga games that allowed head-to-head play via modem/null modem cable that could be converted.

I could see myself spending some time playing against other players online with those old Amiga games instead of the currently available mindless RPG games that are available these days.  The game play of some of our old Amiga games are better IMHO than some of the games today.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
