Here is a list of games you can play with linked Amigas:


Cammy, I can't believe you missed the best one of all, and the one that can -only- be played using linked Amigas:

VR Slingshot!

Used to be a favorite at our user group meetings.

You can't believe I missed listing a game most people have never seen before?

Sorry, I was not serious - even about it being the 'best'. It was probably the most unusual, though, and why it people enjoyed messing around with it. It was strictly 2 machine/players, and both machines had to have 3D viewing hardware, X-Specs and a 15KHz CRT monitor or stereoscopic HMD, otherwise it was useless. I still have all that junk, but we don't seem to have meetings anymore, and you can't play with yourself.


Oops: What is it, since most people have never seen it? good point.
Looks like there is little info on the web, except that it involved "Simulation of motion via Newtonian physics. Airflow accurately simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics Grid techniques."  It was a space battle simulation between two fighters that required a bit of getting used to - a bit of thrust and you would travel and travel. I forgot that it also required analog joysticks! Getting the machines, the HMD and shutter glasses, and monitors, and the analog joystick adapters set up to play was quite a job. The author is still around, looks like took the Amiga references off his website, but added babes (amigas?) in skimpy shirts:
