Good LAN co-op MP games

[DrSpike]

RPGs are going down well, so ID2 looks a cert. It's old, so it will run on my girlfriend's laptop fine.

NWN maybe, though we are playing through SoU non co-op right now.

Surprised you didn't vote for BG Jam.

Btw can you play ToEE over the LAN?

[Jamski]

No, but you can both play at one computer. When it goes into combat its turn based, y'see

I didn't suggest BG as it isn't the best MP game.

whoops i forgot that one. It was the first game my gf and i played in co-op mode. We only tried BG(with the 'tales of the sword coast' expansion), and it was fun.
Got into quite a bit, created character sheets and even imported our own player pics for our characters

The only draw back was you needed to agree who would be the party boss, decide where to go and who to talk to. It could get pretty messy when you both were trying to do your own thing. We ended up taking turns, after each level up i think? But yeah it seemed to work fine.

As I recall, not only do you need two copies of NWN to play it over LAN, you also require two passcodes.



I did suggest that we played BG over LAN when Jam and I were at your house, but you said you couldn't be bothered to load it. Mind you, that may have had something to do with the fact that the lure of Folderol was too strong.

An oldy but goody:

System Shock 2

IIRC had a coop mode.

If you had boobs he probably would of loaded it up for you.

Liar, I didn't want to install it, not load it. Massive difference.

A good choice, but I don't really want to take the risk of trying to sell an FPS game (even one with RPG elements) at this point. Small steps.

Maybe Icewind Dale would be a better choice, since it's more of a hack'n'slash.

So you can play ID co-op? I have both 1 and 2.

What about Fallout?

Ok, ToEE goes onto my list.

Axis and Allies (the hasbro board game converted to the computer game- not the new axis and allies)

the ai ins't much of a challenge, but it's fun as far as computer board games go.

note: I'm not sure about LAN, but I do know you can play multiplayer (just make sure you have the same patched version)
