Not exactly. I try to get somebody to play a C64 game over the internet
with me. Also thought of Artillery Duel, since speed would be an issue
(is very bad).
Problem here was to find "somebody" so far. Asked some people I know from
chat and other friends. Most said it sounds interesting, but then no one
ever makes time for that.
For the record. I had once two Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) machines
connected via VICE on it, and apparently it worked. The connection was
over local WLAN. But already very slow from response times.
