Many years ago, my youngest brother had some kind of Lego train set game on the PC. He built little Lego train layouts on there. Maybe it's like Hornby; I don't know.
The game had a network play option. A player could play together with someone else over the internet who had the same game. I don't recall how many years ago this was, but I've got the idea in my head that there was no central game managing server. You had to already know who to play with. Possibly even knowing their IP address.
Anyway, he didn't know anyone. He really wanted to play, so he wrote to them asking if they knew anyone he could play this game with.
Someone wrote back, apologising for not knowing anyone he could play with, and included a mousemat and a pack of lego.
I'm welling up here. I'm going to go out and firebomb the Duplo factory.
