You can network them for file transfers using ParNet and an appropriate cable.  As far as games, Fighter Duel Pro comes to mind, but it uses a custom adapter.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

There are some Amiga-linked games.  As far as I know, though, none use the parallel port link.  

For linked gaming on two Amigas, what you need is a serial "null modem" connection.  This works for Fighter Duel Pro, Stunt Car Driver, and others.  (Those two were my favorites, though!)  Good times!  :-)
