@zirkoni88 indeed. besides there would be times when too many buttons would be pushed at the same time.. which again would freeze players gameplay.. :( was a regular gayness thing that happened when i played slicks n slide and mine bombers :)
@zirkoni88 It was possible; I might have left out a rarely-used function and used 6 keys for each player--4 directions and 2 buttons. Also, I relabeled the entire keyboard with masking tape. It used upside-down "WASD"-style controls ("456T"??) in places too, so that we could sit around the keyboard in a circle.
Firstsly, such an awesome game :P And secondly i was just wondering if you played this on the one computer or you networked two computers? - and if you used DosBox?. If you did network it between computers, could you please intruct me how to do so - i'm having trouble :(. I'm also using DosBox 0.74. Thankyou :)
@zirkoni88 Or you can use YANG (Yet Another Netplay Guider) that does all this automatically. It also has a chat function and you can create and advertise your room so that anyone can join your game.
I once played this with 7 people all on one keyboard. Good times. :P

@kingmetaknight1 How is that even possible? 3-4 people on the same keyboard is pretty much the maximum, after that you just run out of space.

This was a ridiculously long time ago.

@Virux333 The game uses IPX, so
1. Enable IPX (type ipx true in DOSBox or edit the .conf-file)
2. Host starts an IPX server by typing: ipxnet startserver
3. Others connect the server by typing: ipxnet connect "hostname"
where "hostname" is the ip-address or hostname of the server.
4. Start the game.
