What game uses the lowest bandwidth??

Let's try and find the game with the lowest bandwidth usage, something fun to play those last couple of days of the month, when the cap is all used up..


Please post any suggestions...:confused:
 
I don't know what would be considered high bandwitdh use as I hardly play any games being on Linux..

But "ActionCube" seems quite OK.. I can play it on MTN HSDPA... maybe 10 - 15MB in an hour with about 8 players ... is that high or low?

It's an open source FPS btw..

10 - 15MB a hour is low for a FPS.

List any games you know and their bandwidth usage. This is for archive purposes if people want to check out, and see games with their
bandwidth usage.

America's Army +- 20MB per hour.
 
Well there is always the grandfather of WoW ;)
ok its text based and consumes at most 100 to max 150MB per month(at an insane 8hr per day) in colour and needs to be played on a fibre connection[sat latency is too bad] but its cool i tell yah. link to the game i play[well i stopped till june.. but i digress] is in my signiture. you can even play it on a p1 and dialup (if it weren;t costly and lag was not icky) :eek:
 
F.E.A.R. combat, me 6k/s that's around 22mb/hr, my friend 3k/s, dont' know why....

WOW -> 100 to 150MB per month... Well that is low for such a cool game.
will keep that in mind...
 
muds have the same game play and design, just no graphics and more roleplay. Its a good way to learn to type and read faster.
 
checkers, or draughts ...

Naughts & Crossess....

Hangman......
 
Warcarft, or more specifically DotA :D

A 1-2 hour game will be around 3-5mb. A 64kb connection could play with 3 people, so I guess the usage is very low.
 
Starcraft is cool, do you perhaps have any stats on how much bandwidth is uses? Or similar games like and other strategy games???

No I don't, but it's VERY little. People on GPRS play it because it uses so little.

Organise the 1.14 version and come play on the local Gosu server ;)
 
Well thanks for that Pitbull. I am actively looking for a decent game to play those last couple of days when the ADSL is finished or nearly finished.

Any more games...
This list is for anyone looking for game stats...
