How exactly DOES this work? I know it's run through POP3 email...but I'm still a little confused on how the gameplay exactly goes about through the email. I have the game, so if someone could explain, I could play online w. you guys. Laughing

okay ill break it down for ya, you select the amount of players right....after that you make your move in the game right, then the game will asky you to type in the email of the person your playing against, then the move/turn you did is sent over to the other player as a DAT file, then the other player you send the DAT file will be opened within the game (if they have a PC) or they will recieve the file via dreamcast, anywho the DAT file will tell the game what move you did, the player yoour playing against will perform his move and re-email you the DAT file back to you and await your next move...complicated?? well heres a brief explanation

you make a command--->>>mail it to 2nd player
2nd player makes his commens--->>mail it to you

if u wanna play me my email is codeveronicax@softhome.net

I guess this is likened to playing a Chess/Checkers game VIA mail? I can't see anyone finishing a game through e-mail....

I think the main thing about sega swirl is a lack of in game chat that would make realtime play difficult. 2 users online at the same time on a messanger program, playing sega swirl would be not that unlike a standard online turnbased game like worms world party. It would go pretty fast.

Plus sega swirl could be a game people could get into, if they were really really busy, and playing the game over turn based email would mean they could make game moves when they have time.

Very interesting to see those highscore charts still upand recently active. That rox Very Happy

If you really want to play Sega Swirl online use your PC, its a free download and only a 5 min (or so) download for ppl with 56k.

I played twice over email. one time against my friend and one time against the site admin on segaswirl.com. Of course he whopped me. It took 4-6 days to finish a game. I think we actually played 2-3 times but everytime took awhile. We didn't check our email all the time.

Where can you get this for the DC though? i have only played it on PC.
