Which are not necessary to use for running single player game. I firewall all games and they run just fine, even for LAN coop.

So do I.

I simply boycott those that need an online server for multiplayer, unless an opensource version exists. LAN or nobuy.

Sadely, it seems that simple LAN multiplayer is not fashionable anymore...

Yet, I recently restarted some LAN parties and was amazing, even for youngs, when they experience the screams of other players...

Yes, occasionally we do LAN parties as well. We try to beat a Titan Quest, because they add new datadiscs here and there so we did not finish it yet.

Whats your choice for LAN games?

Mostly RTS oldies that I try to show the youngs.

New ones aren't very LAN friendly.

Some couch multiplayer also. But console based...
