Having had some nostalgia in this thread What got you onto PC gaming? Maximum Triceratops post about the first multiplayer experience had me thinking what mine would have been and how I felt at the time
For anyone that has seen me online won't be the least bit surprised that it was Battlefield 1942.
I can remember been amazed that I was playing a game (on a 56kb dial up modem! - later my first broadband connection) against people from all over the world. There was infantry, jeeps, Tanks (that Tiger Tank tank on Battle of the Bulge!),artillery (remember how the snipers could spot for you) airplanes (fighters and the B2), submarines and destroyers. Still hasn't been surpassed by any BF game for the range of vehicles. Not to mention the mod scene at the time was amazing.
Some great games (and some awful ones - not even rose tinted glasses will convince me it was perfect).
This was also for me the first time I started playing regularly with people online, joining XDC 'clan' and having fun in a team game. 14 years later still enjoy gaming and still playing with some of the same people in XDC! 14 years well spent
So what was other peoples first game and what can you remember feeling at the time?
