TI-82 Link Help Please



I'm making a TI-BASIC version of Bomberman on my 82.  Everything was going
 well, until I decided that it would be too confining to have 2 players sharing
 the same keypad, so I tried making a linked version.  The only problem is that
 I've never used the link in a program before.  I'm pretty sure (in BASIC) the
 only link command is Get(var) which transfers a variable from the other TI.
 I'm also pretty sure (through much trial and error) that the Get command
 doesn't work if the other TI is executing commands (I can only get it working
 when the other TI is at PAUSE command)  The problem with that is that the
 PAUSE command requires them to press enter, but that doesn't work in a game
 (at least not Bomberman).  I tried creating a delay using a FOR loop, but the
 value doesn't seem to get transferred.

Is there ANY way (besides ASM) that I can have the values transferred while the
 game is running?
