I got the thing to run on a LAN (at work) no problem.  (Actually we 
couldn't get the 3 player game running only 2 player.)

It is ABSOLUTELY worth seeing it run on a network if you haven't!  The game
is very intense by yourself, amagine what it would be like if you have 
another guy in the room with you (that you can see and shot (if you'd like))
helping you conquer all!  What are best friends for, right ?!!

Gaming like this is upon us everyone!  The dawn of interactive multi-user
graphical games is what I have been waithing for... and it's here... and
it's VERY WELL DONE!  8^)  I think I will actually break down and buy the
registered version.  They DEFINATELY deserve it!

ps. We did run into about 3 bugs though, and one of them actually killed
    us in the middle of the 4th level!
