NFL2K1. Being able to play a game against a human opponent at almost any time just felt amazing

Diablo on the PC with a friend of mine. We were gaming buddies from wayyyy back and we thought we had died and gone to heaven.

Re: first online gaming experience

I got a dreamcast at launch so it was NFL2K for me. I remember the game had a 4 player ability so i wanted to get a game against this kid. He accepted but next thing I know 2 more of his friends jump in. Well, let';s just say i got killed.

Team Fortress on the 360 will rock. I loved it on the PC and can't wait for the 360 version.

are they really making this? damn, if they do, I might have to refrain from buying it.

Re: first online gaming experience

Yet another thread made to make the older OS crowd feel just that....OLD.

For me, it was Doom on the PC. I taught my buddy how to set it up on his PC, and I dialed him up and we'd play 1 on 1.

Also around this time, there were some text based RPG's on a few of the BBS's I belonged to that I would play here and there...never that heavily though. My first online sports experience was one of the FPS: Football Pro games. I was in a league for that game where we actually played our games online. Pretty big headache because the connection was never stable...but a lot of fun, none the less.

Mine was Battlefield 1942. Lets just say that that's all I played that summer, there was no other thing like it. I could of played it all day and night, and sometimes I did. Now I just play games on the 360, my computer isn't good enough to play the newer games.

It comes with Half Life 2 along with Portal and Episodes 1 and 2 when it releases on the 360.

Re: first online gaming experience

Either Hearts or Chess on the PC.

As for console - none. I just don't have the urge to play online with anyone. I'll play Gears or Halo split screen with a buddy of mine, but I don't really wish to do so with other people. I don't know, I am weird I guess (plus, way too many 12 year olds throwing around racial slurs).

yeah I'm going to have to avoid this one. I spent too much time playing TFC online and the last thing I need is a newer version of it.

Re: first online gaming experience

A hot steamy night in about 02-03 I caressed my controller and soothely inserted it into the slot and plugged in the system and sparks flew all about. I didn't last long, due to disconnection, but I will never forget...

Umm....TJ..are you reading this?

Text based RPG's on IRC....

Re: first online gaming experience

hmmm Street Fighter 2 over an emulator (ZSNES I think?) with a friend. Both of us were on dial-up so it didn't work out so great.

After that, Socom 2 I think.

Re: first online gaming experience

The original warcraft. Man that was a long time ago.

So was your post.

Text based RPG's on IRC....

Heafty Bump. Well done.

For mine, COD world at war. Hooked me in like crazy. Played something like 19 total days of that game online.

Re: first online gaming experience

Holy thread bump, batman!

The first game I ever played online was Tribes 2 back in 2002, I believe. IMO one of the most underrated shooters ever made and one of the best. There's still an online community for it, albeit a small one. Good times...
