Run an open source home gaming server
LAN parties have become less popular in recent years, with improvements in network speeds and online gaming. While they still take place, time has moved on. But there’s something missing…
Surely one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences of all time, a Quake III Arena LAN game was always guaranteed to lead to late nights, as well as keep the local pizza shop running. But those days don’t need to be left in the past. It’s time to arrange a new Quake LAN party using your Raspberry Pi.
Two main options are available. There’s the manual installation and setup, which uses files available in the main Raspbian repos, and the easy installation of Quake On LAN. With a Quake On LAN server running, (or anything based on it) can connect and start playing a multiplayer deathmatch scenario. This can be run on any platform, PC, Linux, macOS – whatever you can run on. Better still, will also run on a Raspberry Pi.
