could anyone suggest a decent Lan game that i can play on my home network, one PC being a decent spec, the other about 5 years old, prefer shooting type games, but open to suggestions...
we used to play Vietcong over lan about 5 years ago, quite a good game too, to upgrade your older pc, usually a newer graphics card is all it takes for games. Unless its a low spec machine with next to no ram or HDD space of course!
There is a free RTS game made by the fan community of the original Total Annihilation called TA: Spring which will run well on most older machines, make the effort to learn the game and you will never regret it: http://spring.clan-sy.com/
