Abstract: Terminals (20, 22, 24, 30, 40) of players connect with a host (10) of a gaming application via a network (50). Terminals can be of different types and have different capabilities. The host (10) comprises processing means for supporting a gaming application and an interface (13, FIG. 4). The interface (13) determines the capabilities of a terminal being used by a player and provides the terminal with a range of interaction with the gaming application which is matched to the determined capabilities of the terminal. The gaming application can be a multi-player gaming application such as a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). Terminals having limited capabilities are provided with access to limited gaming functions, such as management functions. Two terminals may simultaneously access the same player's data, with a terminal of lower capabilities being used by a co-pilot.
