Not a single word about Hamachi? What a banger software... Playing LAN games with prople over 1000km away.

Nowadays, there isn't any LAN option in games anymore and most need a full internet connection to even start the game... Luckily there are still people doing the heavylifting allowing pirates games to still work (online-fix) with friends.

Yep I do miss too the old WAN parties :)

I still do it once a month with a couple of friends albeit we only play older games that allowed LAN connection. It's amazing playing 90s/00s games, StarCraft, Frozen Throne, UT, quake and those goodies

As president I will put a chicken in every pot and a soldering iron in every garage or basement workshop.

Very cool! Ohh the memories :] Many things were better before! Good writing. It's a fun idea, wish I had the network knowledge to do this.
