Speculating on what other games might include LAN
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2011 4:49 pm
I'm not sure where lazyhoboguy got his list of games with LAN support, but I'm guessing it came from the list at OC. However, we have seen that the list is missing some games, such as Fight Club and Crash Tag Team Racing. In some instances, this may be because lordnikon, the administrator of that site, was uninterested in the game, and thus didn't bother to check to see if it has LAN mode or not.
Before noonotthat discovered Fight Club's LAN mode, I had noticed that the Xbox version of the game features system link (LAN mode.) There were other games whose Xbox versions had system link, but in which case, the PS2 versions did not show up on lordnikon's list. For a while, I assumed that the PS2 versions of the games simply did not have LAN, but after Fight Club, I started to wonder if some of those other games do have LAN, but lordnikon wasn't interested in finding out.
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
187: Ride or Die
I think it's very likely that lordnikon never bothered to check this one, because he strongly urged others to not buy it.
Commandos Strike Force
Ford Versus Chevy
This one's an oddity. I actually took a look at the back of a copy of the Xbox version, while at a department store, and I'm fairly certain that the cover art only listed online multiplayer, for 1-2 players, with no system link. Yet, the scan at that site says it supports system link, for 1-6 players. It is possible that the copy I found was a misprint, and the scan at MobyGames is from an errata that was issued at a later date, or vice-versa.
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
Flatout
Not only does the Xbox version of this game apparently have system link, but according to a topic posted somewhere at this board, the PS2 version(/s) of Flatout and/or Flatout 2 have/has LAN mode.
My Street (This game was only released for the PS2, but according to FreddY, it supports LAN.)
So, if any of you own any of these games, and could check to see whether or not they include LAN, please do so, and report your findings. None of the games I listed interested me that much, (except for the Flatout games, because I've heard that they're similar to the Burnout games. I was disheartened when EA finally terminated the Burnout 3 master lists.) Nevertheless, I think it would be nice if we could have as complete of a list as possible.
