That is amazing. Count me in. It’s been a nightmare week at work again so not managed to get online much. I’m off tomorrow though so i’ll download it and check it out so i’ve ready to join you guys. I even have a new/old stock joysticks for the old se/30 and a joypad for the g3 so options for gaming :)

Probably better on my g3 though in classic mode :) i can try both

Yeah, let's have a Bolo friday evening ? We could meet up on Hotline first and then test-drive our 68k hot rods? :)

Very nice! Somebody else looking for a round of retro multiplayer fun?

It'd be in the evening in Central Europe, so for our Americans, probably noon to afternoon.

You can be lucky if I don't join, for I'd blast you all with the power of 68k!

You can join from your emulation tablet, but *only* if you use gesture control :D :D

I have a keyboard - the Rolls Royce version of one(!) That thing did cost me more than my last hard drive. :O

I just checked the setup for this.
Internet Bolo Buddy 2.0a caused a crash until I removed my existing Internet Bolo Buddy Prefs file (from v2.0).

I'll do my best to try and join the game.... most likely after 20:00 GMT.

Very cool! I think we best gather on Hotline first and once we're 2 or 3 we open up the game?

Thanks for that match, Ovalking and Cashed! It was fun fun fun! :-)

Ova knows some pretty nasty moves and his corner of the map looked like the *real* battleground after an hour :D ... you didn't even come to appreciate the tons of mines I laid around your two south-western bases before you left, @Ova! Was waiting for you all the time to go there and "recharge" and ... kabooom :D

@Neal @Knez - we missed you!! We hope you can join us next time?

Edit: An action screenshot from yesterday evening: "No Man's Land", to the west started Ova's fierce defense, to the East my controlled territory. You can see my little tank recharging at a base to the right :-)

We may do a second round tonight. Watch this thread or simply join us on Hotline :-)

Maybe Neal or 68040 want to join us too? Game is free for all :)

Yep, really enjoyed the game.

Bolkonskij was hardly an apprentice! A canny ability to destroy me while I carried a pillbox. And must have had a keyboard with shift lock, what with all those mines! They're really annoying, but if you move slowly, you can see adjacent mines.

Cashed played the bait :-) No, really impressive staying power considering you had no bases!

I was quite impressed how smoothly it ran network wise, - I was on a 4Mbps ADSL line, just a couple of slow down periods.

I will play again at some point, but for now must concentrate on the less enjoyable christmas shopping...o
