Not to dispute your main point, but I recently got hold of the remastered C&C. I'd forgotten how good it was. The music really drives a lot of the feeling in it.

Having said that, I just don't have the time to really get into it again. And I don't have my best friend living in the same house with Ethernet cables strung between the rooms ;)

One thing about the original c&c. Even the installer was interesting. Pity they stripped that out when they ported it to windows and used installshield later. You were having fun the second you started that game.

Can't you just connect 2 remote virtual machines with an EthernetOverIP channel and bring up IPX to play old games?

Only worth doing if my project to create an AI simulation of my best friend also succeeds ;)
