Armour Alley
Bolo (use the aIndy bot for additional players: simply make duplicate Bolo applications preferably on the fastest computer, assign them to aIndy. Even better if the bots are allied: I can take on 2 allied aIndy bots and win almost all the time -- sometimes 3 depending on the map)
Dogfight City, but that requires 256 colors and some memory + processor power (runs excellent on a IIfx) and very likely won't run on System 6
Oxyd (fantastic game, hint: use a laser mouse if you can, this game requires supreme mouse handling skill)

Net Trek 3.0

You can find it around on the internet. Email the creator and he may send you a copy!

I used to play it at school with a bunch of other kids. It was great fun!

Here are two very old ones: Mazewars and Bus'd Out.

Also, try Netrisk1.0 and NetChess.

Did Spaceward Ho! run on System 6? Perhaps the earlier B&W versions?

And what about Strategic Conquest? It was a bit like "Empire" for the Mac.

A few months back I was able to find Bolo, Net Trek, and the Spectre games. Of these I have played a fair amount of Spectre and a little Bolo. Yet to try Trek.

Also my SE is the only 6 machine I have running right now. My guess is that these games would do better over LocalTalk than ethernet. Anybody ever play these via ethernet, or even internet?
