Aliasalpha: For my major networking project I wanted to find a way to build a tin can & string network, modulating the signal to audio through a speaker in a tin can, vibrating it across a string to another tin can with a mic and seeing if I could reliably send data that way. Predictably I was voted down for thinking of something too hard but how awesome would that have been? Playing a networked game of NWN2 over a network made of string and old soup tins

Navagon: I'd be up for some UT 2004 or Dawn of War.
If we're not strictly adhering to the old games rule then you can add a few more games to that, including Quake Wars, L4D, Demigod, SinsOASE, DoW2 & Supreme Commander.
I'm also not on IRC, but a GOG Steam group might not be such a bad idea for the 31.7162% of us willing to tolerate it.

lowyhong: Actually, it'd be a totally wonderful dream if GOG had its own app, like Impulse or Steam, that sets up multiplayer matchmaking exclusively for its games only.

KavazovAngel: I'm up for that, though I only have few multiplayer games in my account:
HL2: Deathmatch, Trackmania Nations Forever and Team Fortress 2

michaelleung: We can only dream. But for now, we need alternatives.

lowyhong: MSN Messenger or any form of IM to keep in touch? Seems like the best alternative. We can then arrange for multiplayer games via IM.

CyPhErIoN: what about xfire?
we can make a group for GOG which allows us to see who's online , who's playing what and on what server.

lowyhong: I've thought about Xfire, but it doesn't really support old games. Then I thought of Gameranger, but again it doesn't support many old games either, though it does more than Xfire.

VirtualPenguin: We could wish for google wave to release at the moment :D Otherwise I'm up for MSN, Xfire and steam
