I don't think you can play such games in a Terminal Services client. You can run most office apps or 2D apps in a Terminal Services client but probably not any thing with 3D or sound. To do 3D games you will need to install them locally.

OP
I've done it with Aliens Versus Predator--didn't have it installed on my computer, but ran it well off of the remote on. However, this was over a LAN, using 98 on both PCs....and no Terminal services...so I know doing this is possible...I just don't know what I need to have done for this to work
