A first router is coupled with a first group of the communications resources for supporting bi-directional exchange of information with a first group of game units. A first server is coupled with the first router for controlling the bi-directional exchange of information so as to support interactive play by game units at different locations. Embodiments of the system may include a state synchronizing method for synchronizing the exchange of information among game units which are engaged in interactive play in such a manner that each of the game units operates on substantially the same sequence of incoming information, and a bandwidth manager for controlling access of each game unit to the network based on available bandwidth and on a player skill level associated with each game unit.
