Back in the day, we had hooked up Stuntcar Racer and Populous 2 between the Amiga 500 and the Atari Mega STe.

The funny thing was, on our (yes it was original!) version of Populous 2 for the Atari ST, you could hold down the F9 key and it would just crank up your mana.

So when we played it multiplayer, my brother was on the Amiga and was claiming that I was using this cheat on him because I totally kicked his butt.

Anyhow, I thought it was rather cool that you could network two different platforms together back in the day.

It'd be interesting to get a list of games that would work this way between the Atari and Amiga, then perhaps you could run WinUAE and Hatari side by side on a widescreen display and get some multiplayer fun in.  Pretty sure under Windows you can't run two different copies of WinUAE or Hatari, so you'd kind of need to run both at once, right?

I'm just thinking Stuntcar Racer would be extremely awesome with 4 people (more would just make it ridiculously hard!)
