Allerdings ist mein Interesse an Schach nicht so gross. > The best Multiuser game I know is called Netrek. What is Netrek? Netrek is a 16-player graphical real-time battle simulation with a Star Trek theme. The game is divided into two teams of 8 (or less), who dogfight each other and attempt to conquer each other's planets. There are several different types of ships, from fast, fragile scouts up to big, slow battleships; this allows a great deal of variance in play styles. Netrek is set up as a client/server combination; if you want to play, you'll need the client binary for your machine (most are X-based). It's real fun an you can play it across the whole world. For further information check the FAQ of the rec.games.netrek list or get it via ftp from ftp.cis.ksu.edu: /pub/Games/netrek Have fun, Kurt siegl@risc.uni-linz.ac.at ps: while writting mail I'm in english mode.
