Although I don't believe your statements, if it where like this we would 
have to shut the game developers !!

For sure your game will use just a subset of all communications 
possibilities.
To implement what you're asking you don't need a firewall but rather a 
router (or a leased line)...

Tip-1:
(already mentionned) ask the community / game company for the ports who 
needs to be open.
Tip-2:
install ethereal and sniff the communication.

Consideration-1:
I assume that you and your friends are connected with xDSL / CATV / Dial 
/ wathever but not directly on the Internet backbone.
The PCs at both ends are private addressed and therefore without any 
sort of encapsulation and/or translation you will not be able to 
interconnect them over the Internet.

Consideration-2:
If your game is designed only for LAN it could probably use multicast 
which you will also not be able to transport over the internet without 
any helper.

If you find out the network specs of your game you will also get a 
solution for your problem.

Or you can still asking questions like
"Can I drive with an F-16 on the highway from Paris to Berlin ?"
Sure you can. It doesn't make any sense but it's possible...
