MIDI Maze
The MIDI article on Wikipedia was quite informative. What really caught my eye was that MIDI can be used across Ethernet connections and that it was used in video games. MIDI Maze was such a game. It was released in 1987 on the PC, and was a first-person shooter that allowed multiple players to be networked through MIDI protocol. All of the players were conceptualized on-screen as colored smiley-face balls that navigated through a simple 3D maze. The game was later released on the GameBoy, Game Gear, the SNES, and as a shockwave game. I found the SNES (appropriately named 'Faceball') version on eBay for $0.99! :)
