New ways to play games online

Lately, I have been playing some of my older games with my friends online. The problem is that many older games have few online servers anymore, which makes it difficult to join a game with a friend. In turn, either I or a friend must host the game. The issue we encounter here is the fact that I do not have a public IP address any longer, and my friends do not know how to port forward, making it nearly impossible to host. My solution to this dilemma is to use a program called Hamachi. This application allows you to join a network with your friends and creates a virtual local network. Basically it is like having all the computers one one network all in the same room. No need to mess around with router settings and IP addresses. If you are looking to play some online games with friends or even do remote access, then you should have Hamachi.
