I'm from Montréal, Québec.
I only have Duke Nukem so far, but could try to find other games too.
(Si y'en a d'ailleurs au Québec, je peux faire des interurbains gratuits)

It's not a huge forum. People find this place at all different times.

Welcome to the forums!

I live near Canada... just not in it. I don't get to visit often. :(

Hello Warp. I understand but theres not many places like this one for matchups so its a bit surprising to see theres not more ppl out there. I just ordered a Netlink kit and i am looking to get a Netlink game too. Do u know some other places or forums where i could find players ? Thanks.

This is the only collection of players that I know of. I'm guessing there just aren't many people who still realize that you can still play who can or still want to keep playing. Outside of this, I don't know of any other organized groups. This site really is one of your best bets.

At least two of us are working on ways to make it easier for people to play the Netlink together, but neither of us is finished yet.

Sounds good! Local hookups usually have the least lag, so those games usually work out the best. Long distance can work well, but not always.

Also, I can both call and receive long distance, but there is a catch - I'm not the one who pays the phone bill... so I have to justify any long-distance games I play over the Netlink with the guy who pays the bill beforehand. So I can play... just not frequently.

I dont plan on playing very often but if we can manage to play once in a while , it would be really nice! Rochester is not so far from me and maybe it could work ? Ill keep you updated when i get some games. I will try to get Sega Rally and Duke Nukem. Thanks for the help!

I found Duke nukem , Sega Rally Championship and Virtual On Netlink versions on Ebay. The only problem is that they were not selling for cheap and there was only 1 Sega Rally and 1 Virtual On and the price was prety high but i decided to get them anyway. Virtual On and Sega Rally i bought are brand new so its not surprising that i paid more for them. Duke is much easier to find from what i saw and is cheaper too. I should get them within a few weeks. I guess it could take a bit longer than usual due to the holidays. I will let you guys know when i am ready to play :wink:

All the Sega Rally games I just saw on eBay were cheaper than Duke Nukem... I'm not sure where you were looking. It was strange that there were so few Virtual Ons, but they show up rather frequently.
