I did that once. It was supposed to be a team game, my brother and I were on one team, but he couldn't get his firewall to cooperate (that was the biggest issue), so I played alone 2 vs 1. Seems to me we did it through a site, sort of like playing on Steam. It was fun, but slow for my opponents with me having to make all the moves.  I don't think it works anymore, though, but who knows? I think the instructions were at Matrix's site. If some brave soul can figure it out I'd love to do that again.

Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly

I just googled ICQ. Do you know it still exists?!! Owned by the Russians. Supposedly if you know your old logins they'll still work.  Big Grin
