I would recommend getting it in advance & everyone having a go at building a track or 2 for us to play on.
So "Track Mania Nations Forever"
YOU HEARD THE MAN, PEEPS ! (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
What was the GTA4 suggestion - is that multiplayer - I thought there was an issue with that or am I thinking of something else ?

"Track Mania Nations Forever"
http://www.trackmania.com/index.php?rub=downloads
The top one on this page.
Alternatively Trackmania United Star Edition is available through Steam for £20 which gives you access to all the other vehicle types, modes expansions etc etc that they've ever made this game. this is obviously optional though as we'll be using the free version @ the LAN.
The 2 'games' are fully compatible with each other.
Quoting: Roadkill
Steam tells me you were playing TM nations last night - swotting up
Yeah I decided to get the full version, I loved the original games & was genuinely dissappointed when they wouldn't work on Windows 7, this does (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)
As I say, if everyone gets the free version now, plays it a bit, & especially has a go with the level designer we can all play our own home grown tracks (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/cool.gif)

Quoting: Roadkill
The list so far :
Half Life 2 Deathmatch - Should already have this from last LAN
Half Life 2 Deathmatch: Source - Currently £5.99 at Steam
Team Fortress Classic - (I've never played it) - £2.99 at Steam
Flat Out : UC - Need to buy - no prices as yet.
Battlefield 1942 (B.o.B) - Should all have
UT2004 - Should all have
BF2 (selected maps) - Should all have
Trackmania Nations Forever - FREE at Steam
GTA4 - Maybe a limited few who can play this ??
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - £19.99 at Steam (and there's add-ons).
I think HL2:DM and HL2 DM Source are the same thing…
For BF: BC2 if we’re definitely goin ahead with it (ideally 4-8players) I’ll need to speak to Rackage about booking a server for 1 month. I’ll need to know this ASAP. So its ready & running this weekend (Maybe have a practise beforehand over ‘tinterwebnet.)
