Remember Death Rally, one of the many Apogee shareware hits?
4-player network support over IPX/SPX made it a dark horse for LAN parties.
@fribbledom What does a 'dark horse' mean in this context?
When I think of a LAN party in the 90s, I think of DOOM, Duke Nukem and the likes. But in reality, this was one of the most played games back then (for the LAN parties I went to anyway).
@fribbledom So, a dark horse is something you don't think immediately of in a given context, but is actually the most used thing? Kinda without realizing it at that time?
Yeah, or per definition:
"a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds."
