I remember when I was a kid in the 90s and my dad connected two computer to play Doom. The connection was so slow it was almost impossible to play. When my brother and I saw each other’s characters walking around my mind was so blown at the time. Really a great memory. Wait, you can play the same game from 2 computers?

I recall staying late in the office at British telecom and using our super high end oracle forms dev pcs (£4k) and 20 inch monitors(£2k) to play doom.
