What retro-consoles do you still go on-line with?

I still sometimes go on-line with my PS2.

I haven’t looked at the Dreamcast on-line stuff for ages, but have had it working through the PC-Server option...
and I’m not sure how to get on-line with my Xbox, now that the official route is dead!

Also is there still anything on-line for the GameCube? I’ve never been on-line with that one.

The only game that was even online for GC was Phantasy Star Online.

There are still people running servers so it'd be possible.

I didn't think you could still get online with the PS2! Many people using it?

I know J0e_Musashi still uses his for Internet and Email when there's no PC available.

Last time I went on (PES 2008) there were plenty. Mostly French.

Yep, sports games are still quite popular. There’s usually also a decent amount of people playing the ‘Battlefield’ and ‘Battlefield 2’ Star Wars games, you will probably have to download a patch for the first one though.

I can probably put up a little list of the PS2 stuff if anyone is interested.

There are both official and unofficial servers running a variety of things, you can also play the LAN games on-line over the internet through dedicated servers.
I've heard you can do the same thing with Xbox, but don't know how

I had no idea PS2 online still worked!

Cor, I'll have to give that a go this weekend

I've got a pair of network adaptors, any good games I can go online with? I'm not too sure.

Only game I've ever been online with my PS2 with is CoD: Big Red One. Pretty decent matches I got, too.

Dreamcast until recently... doesn't seem to work anymore.

I could never get any of my Gamecubes online or to communicate with each other. I have 4 Cubes & 2 Broadbans adapters, & they wouldn't communicate with each other or using the Xlink software. In the end I just gave up. I figured it was unlikely both broadband adapters would have problems, so it was just me...

No mention of any retro consoles yet

Are there any?

I've played the SNES, Megadrive and M.A.M.E. online but obviously, only through emulation.

Spectrum and C64 are the obvious ones, there are ethernet adapters available for those to get online.

The Mega Drive had an online service, so the hardware exists for that.

Look beyond the obvious.
