What one do you use? Is Kali still in existence, that let you play any multiplayer game it could recognize was really laggy though, I used to use it playing warcraft 2 before the battlenet edition came out. How's gamespy arcade? I heard there's some spyware in it. Then there's heat. The ideal game service would be next to no lag with tons of people so you never have to wait for someone to come in to join your game. I'm looking for someplace to play yuri's revenge now that westwood online is gone.

Gamespy Arcade, on the rare occasion that I have to use it. I mostly used to use it for Operation Flashpoint and Fallout Tactics, but as the expansion to the former includes an in-game server browser and I haven't played the latter recently I no longer have much use for Gamespy.

KALI lives. It was, essentially, an IPX over TCP/IP tunnel. Many games supported IPX back in the day for gaming but IIRC it isn't routable.

HEAT.net is gone.

There's always the All Seeing Eye. No ads, and a tiny nag box every seven days.

Gamespy is a buggy piece of shit which forces you to look at ads for a whole fucking minute before you can reconnect to another game server. They really ham it the fuck up with those damn ads too!

I used to use All Seeing Eye to connect to MOH:AA, it was perfect. :D

Kali is still around. :) Matter of fact, I think Jay reduced the registration fee. Not that it matters since its still worth every cent. You can also use a free serial, but you're limited quite a bit.

For those that are interested:

www.kali.net

You'll catch me on the -> Descent server under "MD-2389".

For those of you that are Kali regulars and aren't on the Who's Who, go here and get yourself on the list! :)
