Space Quest Multiplayer Party?

[Tawmis]

One of these days, we should try to schedule where a few of us can meet on http://sarien.net/ and play one of the games as multiplayer.

I looked at their webpage briefly. How does multiplayer work?

So whoever is playing - let's say - Space Quest 1 EGA on their site.

If someone else logs on - and plays - and they're in that room. You will see them moving around.

Everyone will look like Roger Wilco.

And I don't think there's anyway to communicate in the game, because I think commands you type only you see.
But I imagine, if one person gets the keycard, and someone gets something else, and you meet back and the door - the person who got the keycard can get you both in.

That is actually pretty cool.

Yeah I thought it might be fun to get a few people to log in at the same time - and see who survives to make it to the end of the game.
Because it's very easy to die, especially at the start of SQ1 with the patrolling aliens.
