X-pilot's cool, but my favorite example of a great multi-player game that
really lended itself to workstation performance (at the time) was X-tank.
You could make these god-awful complicated to control tanks with all sorts
of armaments. Separate rotating turrets and direction control was *really*
cool. :-) Of course once we discovered this little thing called "source
code" everything got a bit out of hand... (It always reminded me of Bolo
on the Apple II...)
