VGA didn’t care much about interference.

Lan party, we didn’t have T connectors, so we cut two coax apart and spliced them with some tinfoil. it worked until someone bumped it hard.

Omg a 10base2 LAN party.

I’m a little stressed thinking about what you even had to do on the software side to get everyone working properly; was it even IP?

The game of choice was Warcraft II, so all we needed was IPX, but I had brought over a bunch of EtherLink II cards. Could have done the TCP in DOS easily enough, but with the ‘substandard’ cables, IPX was a lot more performant.
