I'd suggest that everybody on Giant Bomb who owns a copy of this kind of classic FPS (it's available on Steam in a bundle with the first and only episode of the sequel for €9.99) start it up and join the last remaining Sin multi-player server out there, available at 212.34.148.18:22450 (it's also visible in the Steam Server browser if you change the filter to show Sin 1). Since it's playing CTF maps only, it's not all that great for 1on1 matches, and I've found no way to contact the server owners to change to a mode more suitable for lower player counts, if any of them are even alive 13 years after release. I kind of like to imagine there being a lone Pentium forgotten in an abandoned self-sustaining underground server hall, still happily hosting the Sin server it's former owners set up in 1998 who've never touched the machine since.
I occasionally jump in with a friend, but as I said, CTF isn't the best mode for only two players.
