Overview

While everyone else is trying to prove that the Internet isn't all fun and games, Internet Games For Dummies is here to show you that it's at least chock-full of them.

In Internet Games For Dummies, computer gamester John Kaufeld opens up the world of Internet gaming, where there's something for every computer game lover: galactic battles, fantasy adventures, card games, blood-and-guts shoot-em-ups, and more. In-depth chapters explain how to ready your PC or Mac for the total gaming experience, from going online through commercial services like America Online to connecting directly through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

With Internet Games For Dummies, you can go straight to the best of the best downloadable games and log in to the most-active multiplayer Web-based games. You can even find some tips on improving your gaming skills, whether the opponent is someone else out there on the vast World Wide Web, yourself, or just plain lady luck.

If you ever needed a reason to go out and upgrade your old 486, then here it is. No one needs a Pentium 2 for writing a letter in WordPerfect, but it sure makes playing multiplayer versions of Diablo or Quake 2 a lot more fun. Kaufeld begins with upgrading your machine and choosing a game provider, then looks at dealing with technical problems, family-oriented games, general game information, and tricks to staying alive online. Public libraries would do well to stock multiple copies.
