Not sure, couldn't hurt to try though, worst case you just have to download the ~10mb demo and join us. Come on IRC if you want to try getting it working tonight.
ps. those videos were awesome. I never played this multiplayer, but i loved the single player so much.
It seems like the terminator being able to highlight enemies would be a huge advantage tho.
This game (especially the first, Future Shock) was so far ahead of other games it wasn't funny. Quake thought it was cool yet Future Shock kicked Quake's ass BADLY. Not only was Future Shock the first game to be true 3D (with some exceptions for small items) but the size of the maps made Quake look tiny. On top of that: drivable vehicles! Still a great game!
One note though: last time I tested this, both Future Shock and Skynet tend to be rather unstable in DOSBox because of how the game was coded. The new versions of DOSBox have reduced the amount of crashes but there's still quite a few last time I played. Can the guys who played multi player comment on that?

Its basically wallhacking but its allowed in this game. Everyone has the option to be a terminator and with multiplayer matches 4 players max if anyones seriously opposed to the terminator I'm sure everyone could agree to not use it for a match.

Its got a few quicks but it was running as good as I can remember it running back when I used to play it. Basically Alt tabbing just didn't work, it would completely mess the game up. Going fullscreen also messes the colours up so you have to play windowed. It has a 320x280 resolution and then a 640x480 but the better resolution seemed to cause lag so I stuck with the lower. I'm not sure if you increased the cycles in dosbox if that would sort that problem out or not though.
Its certainly not as polished as todays multiplayer games but its still very fun to play.

404, on what?
The 404 is fixed, ladies.
Anyone that was having problems with Skynets performance, update to .74, 640x480 mode on high went from unplayable to silky smooth. I wanna get a game going soon, if at all possible.
geetoneeet kthxbai.
Anyone up for this?
I've been watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles and am in a huge Terminator mood, I'm definitely up for this.

Just need the instructions on how to it going or it'd be even better if you had the all-in-one thing going.

Only thing good about that series was Shirley Manson. She is amazing.

There is an all in one thing, get it from the DOS Multiplayer Archive here. Follow the instructions on the page and you should have absolutely no issue.

Pop into #gog (irc.quakenet.org) if you want to play with some folks.
