Not really an issue... #1

This is not an issue, but I thought you would be interested to know that I featured Pararena in my Retroweb Vintage Computer Museum, an online museum that allows you to run Macintosh software via in browser emulation.

Pararena is now playable via the Internet through LocalTalk emulation (although I haven't tested it with anyone to see how bad the lag is).

Here is the web page:

BTW, I enjoyed looking through the Pararena source code when I was looking for hints on why Pararena wasn't finding other players. Thanks for sharing! :)

That is cool. Wow, I need to try it with a mouse — this trackpad makes it even harder. :-)

It's definitely a tricky game; I'm no good at it personally :)

I'm curious to try it in Net player mode, to see whether lag is a problem.
