We used to play DOOM multiplayer by connecting two dialup modems and pretending it was a serial link. Worked perfectly.

I had a couple friends and we all used to dial into each others computers after school and play Doom (and Duke Nukem 3D and later Descent which was mind blowing at the time).

It worked just fine, it was a blast.
