This time, we're looking to change the line-up a litlle bit, maybe add some fun sports/racing games, or whatever the hell provides the most fun out of a bunch of not-so-state-of-the-art computers. I largely considered BW and SC2, but only 3 of us actually have ever played them, so I0m guessing it'd be a bit imba XD So, what are your suggestions? Which games would you add/remove/change to make an awesome lan party? Thanks! I'll let you know how this went when we're done. | ||

Age of Mythology, Command and Conquer series, and Relic's stuff are all good RTS's for it. | ||

At the same time, introducing something fresh to your guests that they've never seen before would be a fun surprise! Keeping in line with "fresh" but not alien, a good mod to an already well known game, would be a nice "party favor". One such simple but mod that comes to mind is Planar Erratus  . Great SC mod for a party and a few chuckles before heading off to the main events! Would definitely be something nobody had ever seen before. | ||

http://www.blackcatgames.com/asv1/ I thought the free remake available on steam was really boring, but the original is still amazing (UT2k4 mod, but not an FPS). Its the best co-op survival/mission game ever pretty much. I think capped at 4 players, but can just run 2x4 then  ! Theres like 3 campaigns available for download as well (they are better/harder than the two that comes with the mod). | ||

You play normal Quake (3 Arena), but in teams of two. One guy is playing with his head in a paper bag not seeing anything and the other one tells him where to go and aim :D Playing for more than 10 minutes is not advised because you'll end up losing your voice | ||

It takes quite a lot of time to get anywhere significant though and thus it may not fit with your LAN schedule | ||

You might want to download the open installer prior to the lan so you can copy it over to the other computers using a thumbdrive or something seeing as it's a few gigs in size. Install across all the machines. Then using the launcher select «MediaVPs_3612». Then you'll have to follow the instructions here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=63609.0 This will make everything shiny . If the computers can't handle it, you might want to revert to the basic «multi» mod which will let you play the game as it was initially designed.I know it looks like a lot of work, but this is quite possibly the best space combat sim of all time. OF ALL TIME! The best part is that since FS2's launch in 1999 it's been continually updated and improved by the hard-light community and the game looks great even by today's standards. Here's a video in case you need convincing: (Watch in HD!) | ||

Another classic age of empires 2, me and my friends always play that when we have a lan. Another one that might be a bit lame is Max Payne, i know there isn't a multiplayer to it but usually we just choose the smallest level we can find and play a speed competition, basically you complete a level as fast as possible and shout out as loud as you can when you are finished and then try again. This isnt something to do when your mind is still working, after two days of constant gameing this really is a good activity. One more to play also quite lame one is cycling manager preferably the first game because it is quite bad and very very random but if you get caught up in it you might find yourself going through the entire tour de france. | ||
