A co-worker finally brought in what she'd promised me weeks ago (man, I hate waiting for this stuff!)- she agreed to give me some PS/2 games she doesnt use anymore. So far I got Tomb Raider (I was going to buy this at TRU once the $10 price came down!) & Twisted Metal Black Online.

It wont let me play it w/out an online connection. I have a slim PS2 w/ built-in network adapter, but Im not really interested in actually going online, so is there any way to play this offline? Can I take just a few steps setting up w/out "going all the way"? Is there some point I can reach to play w/out being connected?
