RA2 was loads of fun played with a friend over LAN against many computer opponents.

We’d start the game up in one computer, then pop the CD out and start it up in the next one, and so on.



Doesn't RA2 check serials over network?

I do remember having to install IPX to play over LAN.


The original release came with separate Allied/Soviet discs. You could put one in your buddy's computer.

Keygen was also easily available.


I don't think it did, or at least not the version I had, though it's entirely possible I am misremembering. I know for certain we did the same thing with StarCraft as well. Somehow, we got multiple instances of RA2 running on a LAN.
