Has anyone else had any luck playing NES games in multiplayer?

I was wondering if there was a special client or something cool like that to play NES games with other people online? I'm thinking there might be a sight out there somewhere where NES fans can chat and play together. I've tried multiplayer through RockNES and Jnes but it never finds anyone else to play with.

Just curious.

Thanks,

I think I did hear something like this. May have been a different platform, but I heard about an emulator which supported online play.

Googling tells me of people talking about "Kalliera" which people played online, and also Jnes. Maybe there was just nobody online? Was it a fairly rare game?

Off topic, I wish New Ghostbusters II had multiplayer, that'd be fun. Although I actually have my NES sitting under the TV right now, so I can just get someone over and take turns (the classic 'multiplayer' option of the bygone age).

God, I miss that

That was awesome. Contra, Double Dragon, RC ProAM, RBI Baseball and Mario Bros. were a big hit with my friends and I. That's all we'd do at each other's houses. Those days are long gone

Back on topic, RockNES has you wait until a second player logs on or whatever... I don't really understand it, but I was hoping there was a simpler way.

Me and Inkoddi tried to play Kungfu on some emulator long time ago and it seemed to work well, though it was very laggy. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the emulator! But it indeed is possible and I'd like to try it again some time.

Hey, Pete! Maybe you and I could play some time

RockNES seems to be the simplest if you want to try that some time

PM or mail me,

Mr Flibble's right.
Kaillera: Universal netplay client for most emulators of all console and arcade systems.

NES too.

Why not use Nestopia? It runs awesome, has many many features, and has a kaillera online client. I'll even play if you get it!

Well we can go co-op on Contra or TMNT 2, or maybe I'll kick your ass in Tecmo Bowl.
