To be honest I dont think there are any. Doom was the 1st network game
that i know of and if it would run on a 386(i seem to remember that it
did run on a 386) you would need more mem, especially with network
drivers loaded. Other than that the only multiplayer pc games prior to
that was populus and a submarine game but i think those were modem
games. Cool effort though, good luck.
