What was the first online multiplayer game you played?

[RickST]

Diablo was the game i can remember playing online but,

SOF2 to extreme levels, ladder matches, clans, training the whole lot... never been that addicted to a game since

 

[Toxic Babyface]

I think it might have been counterstrike. I can't quite remember. The first game I really do remember playing a lot online was Jedi Knight Outcast. That was great fun Then thats where I got the bug for downloading heaps of mods and maps
Never did play any of the older games on multiplayer as I was a bit late to the party. I wish I had though.

Phantasy Star Online was my first on the Dreamcast which was pretty fun then Dark Age of Camelot on pc which in my opinion(and many others) was best mmorpg ever made and just a shame it wasn't advertised much in Europe.If part 2 was made i would pay £100 for it in a heartbeat.

haha, DAoC was my 3rd online game after jumpgate.

It still prolly my most favourite game ive ever played, and like you id pay silly money if they ever did a 2nd game

Doom via modem. Showing my age here

Proper multiplayer...Quake 2, spent a good 4-5 years playing that in Clans and such.

diablo2 and redfaction on AOL 0800 service payed a flat rate £19 a month was awesome thats when i used to game a lot :/

 

[Loafer]

Ultima Online or Diablo for me

 

[MeEsH BaKkA]

Beta 3/4 counterstrike I believe.... Trying to remember some old maps, can't other than possibly oil rig and the "training" level with the killhouse and shooting range.

Long time ago...

Mine was TFC, remember switching to 64k ISDN and looking at pings of 2-300 think WOW, awesome

redhotant + STAC compression gave me low 100 pings on a 56k modem in TFC, eat that.

Legend of Mir II

Phoenix server

 

[Limenote]

r6 rogue spear, and later sof 2, i used to get kicked all the time from r6 for my 56k

 

[Sin_Chase]

Starcraft, I think.

Possibly something else though.

 

[jumpy]

First LAN game I ever played was Total Annihilation.

First Online game was Medal Of Honor Allied Assault.

 

[ZombieFan]

First linked-up computer game I played was probably Lotus 2 on the Amiga. One null-modem cable let you play 4-player games - 2 players on each Amiga

The first real MMO I played was in 1995 when at uni. A few students used to run a MUD called Midnight. Somehow they managed to get it installed on one of the uni servers without any admins discovering (or maybe they did and didn't care? who knows...).

The first online MUD I played was Zebedee in 1996, which had a load of people from different universities playing - Amazingly, it's still going! Here it is if anyone wants a play http://zebedee.silverden.com/java/Launcher.html

Then I got into Quake2 around 1998 and never looked back

Team Fortress Classic.

 

[badcompany]

quake II

 

[Princey]

Good old Wireplay.

I used to attempt to play SiN, Half-Life, Quake 2 and Blood II.

 

[Limpnoodle]

Codename eagle, one of the first and maybe quake 2

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I think it was Operation Flashpoint, or Age of Empires 2, shortly followed by Counterstrike 1.2/1.3.
