This is how you do it:
1) Connect the two Macs printer port to printer port and Turn on Apple Talk.
2) Load up both games.
3) Choose the way you wish to connect under the communications menu.
4) Select "MAC to MAC" and "Appletalk"
5) One person starts their game it will come up with a dialog that says
    "Challenge: <no one>" and one that says "Accept: <no one>"
6) The other person should start now.  The same dialog box should appear on
   this screen.  Under the Challenge dialog it should have your opponent, 
   click the challenge button.  Your opponet should hit the accept button.
7) Kill each other.

The above is how it works with FALCON, VETTE! is a little diffrent.
