I think speed of loading is what determines who get's what color. The
faster loading machine get's player0, green. This is the control
character and should be on the one with a better modem. player1 is
indigo, and works better if used on a slower system compare to player0.
How do you get to pick player? Simple, load a pwad, and when the screen
appears ask you press enter to continue, DON'T, and when you think the
other party had finished loading, press enter and you will be indigo.
(Too bad my friend discovered this now and now I am not always the indigo
guy and it's so hard to spot him .... :)
