In Response To: Re: minotaur gameplay video? (General-RADIX)

: Sadly no; I have to wonder if its status as an old online game (dunno if it
: had a single-player option) or its rarity has something to do with that.

: There's about three seconds of footage in this video about classic Mac
: games, but that seems to be it. I couldn't even find footage of 'Odyssey:
: The Legend of Nemesis', which used Minotaur's engine.

It has a single player option. I tried it. I don't think you'll ever find footage of multiplayer happening. It seems to be a game Bungie made to play together in the office (or the messy old apartment, or the parents' basement, wherever the pfhuck their HQ was in the beginning), but unfortunetely it was made at the wrong time since LAN parties/intarwebs play was still percolating in the crockpot before it could become mainstream.

Making it ONLY MULTIPLAYER was pretty much the last nail in the coffin... at least Wacky Wheels and Doom could let you have the whole game experience with 1P.

Is there anybody here who had it and played multiplayer on it during its time in the early 90s? It honestly wouldn't surprise me on this forum ;)
