About 25 years ago on a 300 baud modem on my Commodore 64 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64] connecting to a local BBS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_Board_System]. Yet, even with super-slow text-only connections, that first BBS's name was Utopia.

Neopets came out in about 1999, so they're not that old. They're not only still there, they've actually branched out enough that they actually were promoting kid toys through McDonalds.Jedamethis said:

If we're talking over the intrawebs online: Probably Starcraft, Counter Strike or Jedi Academy. Started playing all of them around the same time.
