Network Play 

To play Weekend Warrior with other
players you must be on an AppleTalk
network (preferably on an Ethernet-based
network). 

Up to 4 players can play simultaneously
in a single network game. Each network
game is limited to 8 minutes.

To begin network play, all players should
select the "two computers" option (pictured
right).

Bowling for Dollars!

The goal in network play is to collect prizes for cash. The more prizes you collect, the more money you'll win. To collect prizes, you'll can either knock down a player with a prize or find them lying around in the arena . Keep in mind though that cash is only awarded for prizes in the player's "bin". Removing a prize from the other player's "bin" will subtract their money. 

You can also earn cash by hitting a player ($40) or by knocking them down ($250). 

The Prizes

Blender = $50
Phone = $200
TV = $600
Bicycle = $800
Luggage = $1500
Ring = $2000

In the dialog below, the host has created

a game called 'WeekendWarrior'. If you

 Joining a Network Game

Once the host has created a game,
the other network players can
join into a game.

In the example on the right, the
host has created a network game
called 'Doug's Game'.

TCP/IP Net Games

While TCP/IP games are possible to play with Weekend Warrior, this option has not been tested. If you have problems with this protocol, switch to AppleTalk for your network games. Also remember that latency issues may affect the performance of any Weekend Warrior TCP/IP net game.
