First online game?

[PersianLlama]

Starcraft

 

[P1p3s]

StarSiege

joined a guild and everything, went on raids, head set mic the whole 9 yards. This sounds tame but I was the only one of my friends with a computer and gaming was very very niche amongst the people I knew.

Thinking about it I have no justification in my merciless mocking of my WOW friends because at age 13 I was queen of online mech action...man that was schweet

Oh it was Dragon something... it was a MUD. Text rpg you know.. that old school stuff from 1994. Yeah that was my first... my favorite was NWN.

 

[JimmieDean]

Wow am I really that old. The first games I played over a network were several different text based games on a BBS. This was in the 80s, on a 2800 baud modem. Pre-AOL, pre-Prodigy, Pre-internet.

Please tell me one of those was The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. (best beginning to a game ever!) lol

 

[thatotherguy2]

Runescape but it was only for like 3 days

 

[CtrlZee]

It was either Priston Tale, or Unreal Tournament.

Both of which, I hate the sight of nowadays.

Silly fragfests.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

Counter-Strike. I've lost many nights to that one.

 

[Winter Rat]

LambdaMU. Text based and silly, but I think that qualifies.
Actual online gaming experience, Unreal: Tournament or Counterstrike, old school with the bunny hopping.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

It was either C&C Red Alert 2 or Diablo 2.

 

[SirDeadly]

Call of Duty 4 was my first console online game. Runescape was my first though...

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Either Diablo 2 or Medal of Honor.

 

[similar.squirrel]

A Horrible Histories maze game about beheading various spouses of Henry VIII

 

[Dantes Alaska]

Diablo 2, starcraft, and counter strike

 

[hiognjajt231]

Halo 2, aaah, good times

 

[El Taco the Rogue]

Star Wars Jedi Academy.

 

[Summerstorm]

Some game on AOL (yes, sorry) back in...no idea 96, or 97? It was some kind of action-3d shooter with rpg- elements (and magicians). No idea how it was called, but is was cool.

 

[Iampringles]

RuneScape. I wasted far too much time on it.

*shudders*

 

[ChocoFace]

Priston Tale.
the MMORPG sucked, now that i think about it, but i was young, how was i supposed to know that?
