We're going to have some beta tests of the new online mode. The first one will be this Sunday. For the time, see here. Join us on Discord to take part. We will be playing via Parsec, which means you don't need a PC - you can play on Mac/Linux/Raspberry Pi - and you don't need a controller - you can play with keyboard/mouse. And you don't even need to own RetroWar! Since this is the first test there's no guarantee it will work, and if it does work we have no idea how many players it can support. That is the reason for testing! If you can't make this one, don't worry, there will be more, posted here.
