Thanks for the input!
We held another LAN party yesterday and tried out Ghost Recon Raven Shield/Athena Sword and had a blast. Despite running sub-optimal on the laptops they are really fun (and a nice change of pace from CS).
Unfortunately it is pretty difficult to find games that are accepted by 6+ people and so a lot of suggestions met a with a "what, ugh, no way" even though I would have liked to try them (gimme flightsims!!).
Somebody brought a WC3:FT Tower Defence game and insisted on us at least trying it. I thought of the "fun" Hero levels with the *barf* Tome shop and was less than thrilled. It was the best WC experience with this group so far :) . We played a co-op version, where we all (8 players) had to defend the world tree against increasingly difficult waves of monsters by constructing and upgrading towers (hellooooo bonus level!). Heh, us eight actually playing together against a common foe! Even though the game turned into a slideshow on the laptops after about round 35 we almost got to the last level, "defeated at round 39" (of 40) and we had a blast. The frantic yelling for backup of the players who could not hold off their monster wave...priceless :) .
Don't be shy, keep the suggestions coming!
@wcip Angel: Hmmmmm, I know that I would love to try Full Spectrum Warrior Multiplayer, do you think we could get it to run on the laptops? 1.2 GHZ + GeForce4, if memory serves.
