Isn't Skidmarks a Serial Port (Modem?) multiplay game?

Does PARBench try to emulate the serial port over the parallel port?
If not, you'll probably need a Serial Null modem cable for that..

Looks like it'd be the right one (unless you have an Amiga 1000, it's serial port is the other gender).

Oh, put Firepower on your list...
That was the first game I played over the internet (via Serial to Ethernet adapters) with a distant Amiga user....

Was pretty fun..
(For some reason, the "CHAT" window would crash the game if we used it, but once we figured that out, the game worked great...)

Well, except for the fact that I lost..  Pretty badly..  ;-(   ;-)
