    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has any recommedations of any LAN games?
    When I was at college a couple of years ago we played Armagenton Advanced, it wasn't the best game but it was fun having 14 of us playing it!
    I did have it on my pendrive, but have lost the actual pendrive so don't have the game :(
    Didnt know if anyone knew where I could get it from or indeed any other LAN game (preferably free if possible)
    Thanks

    Anything and everything UT. Unreal tournament has been my favorite FPS game and is a blast for LAN parties.

    No, but you can get the Unreal Anthology for like, twenty bucks off EBay, and UT 2004 is included in it, which is my favourite...

    Mmm... Flak cannon.

    I'm with liquidxit, the game modes are great, the combat is a pure fragfest, and the graphics are pretty sweet from what I remember. (Just bought a copy that is waiting at home for me lol)

    UT series is always so much fun because, theres so many mods out in the UT community. The map editor has always been included with the games, and that makes for some breath taking levels.
