I did that once. It was supposed to be a team game, my brother and I were on one team, but he couldn't get his firewall to cooperate (that was the biggest issue), so I played alone 2 vs 1. Seems to me we did it through a site, sort of like playing on Steam. It was fun, but slow for my opponents with me having to make all the moves.  I don't think it works anymore, though, but who knows? I think the instructions were at Matrix's site. If some brave soul can figure it out I'd love to do that again.

I just googled ICQ. Do you know it still exists?!! Owned by the Russians. Supposedly if you know your old logins they'll still work.  Big Grin

No I don't remember my logins, i think it was a fun way to play especially on the smaller scn's.
