One of my favorite party/deathmatch games from the mid 90s was Blast Chamber. Unfortunately Activision shafted the DOS crowd with just a demo, but luckily the PS1 version runs perfect in the ePSXe emulator. The DOS demo works great in DOSBox and luckily is still floating around the Interwebs for download (dropped it here for good measure). Gamepad is a must for good control although you can use the keyboard. I would love to see an online remake of this game. The original website home page from 1996 is still around via the Wayback Machine:
