Not sure why the extra effort is needed when 99.9% (I honestly don't know
of any that are still popular today that DON'T do this) of the single user
door games handle that themselves with the INUSE.FLG or something similar.
The door game itself will shoot a message to the second user trying to play
saying the game is unavailable at the moment, and to try again later.

Regards,
Nick
