Red Pixel II

demo 2 (2003-01-09)

Description

Red Pixel 2 is a platform deathmatch game, playable by two or more players on a Local Area Network (LAN). It is the sequel to Red Pixel, obviously.

Processor: i686-ish machine with a clock speed of around 400 MHz is probably minimum. i686 means Pentium Pro or above.
Operating system: Windows 9x/ME or Linux.
It has been reported that Windows XP doesn't work well in client-server mode (although it works in client-only mode). I presume the same of Windows NT and Windows 2000. I don't have access to those operating systems, so I don't know when the problem will be fixed.
Update: James Lewis says "You have to set the game to run in compatablity mode for Windows 98/ME. This will solve the problem straight away.". I can't give any further details than that, however.
Network: Machines must be on a LAN with IP. High speed Internet connections may work, but hasn't been tested.
Keyboard, mouse, sound card, etc.
