Yeah, I think this feature of direct connecting 2 computers (and of different
types no less) makes Falcon a PREMIER game for the Amiga.  One feature you
might not be aware of is that when one computer is running the original Falcon
and the other is using Falcon:Operation Counterstrike mission disk, each
computer sees the graphics of their particular game.  This means if I am using
the mission disk, I see the graphics from that game, and if someone else is
using the original, they see the originals graphics.  A friend and I connected
his 2500 in 68020 mode to my 500 in 68000 :( and played.  There was a small
slowdown in animation speed but having an unpredictable HUMAN competitor sure
makes up for that.  We also tried connecting with our 2400 bps modems, forget
it...tooooo slow!  If you have 9600 Dual Standard HSTs give them a try.
 
Next thing Spectrum Holobyte needs is a mission disk specifically made for
aerial combat situations.  To make it interesting, how about having a DEEP
canyon and obstacles on the ground to do low level dogfighting around?  Oooo,
my mouth is watering just thinking about it! :)
