Deer Hunter
Risk: Global Domination
How is this possible?
The online servers for both of these games remain online, maintained by GameSpy. Somewhere along the line, it seems that Atari did not opt to renew online support with GameSpy for both Deer Hunter and Risk: Global Domination. As evidenced by this thread at the official Atari Forums, matchmaking services were discontinued for both of these games, essentially rendering them terminated. What we have done is restored matchmaking services for both of these games so that players are seamlessly able to connect to them online!Here is a quote concerning the discontinuation of GameSpy support for Risk: Global Domination (and consequently, Deer Hunter) for PS2:
