Anyone remember their first computer online multiplayer game? Mine was Sudden Strike Forever (2D WW2 RTS game)
OH GOD HOW DID THIS GET HERE I AM NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTER :FFFUUU:
“Tradewars sucks.”
OMG you just opened a door to about a trillion memories that had long been forgotten. MY HEAD
EDIT: I also remember the first word I ever searched for on a search engine:
“Shit”
I got something about making shit-hotdogs or something like that
'twas a good christmas
I don’t remember the very first time I went on the internet, but I remember back in elementary using it in our computer labs to play some games on the fox kids website, like digimon and crap. First online multiplayer game was probably Age of Empires 2.
First had internet in grade school. Used it to play on candystand.com. Those home run derby games were awesome.
When I was 5 I actually thought I’d have to be on the beach inorder to surf on the intarwebz.
back in 1997 when I had my Quake I game, I used to sneak into my brother’s room at midnight and search for screenshots and info for the game, good old times
Probably the Allied Assault demo. I played that a hell of a lot with my cousin. First non-multiplayer game besides the PS and Windows 1.11 games is The Settlers I think.
The first game I played online would have to be Quake II. That shit was awesome, I’m sure I could still have a good time with it too, if I could actually find a game for it.
I remember when the Quake II mod scene was still active, there were so many awesome mods coming out.
My first thoughts were probably related to whatever crappy flash/javascript-based kid’s game I was playing at the time.
I was really young, yet I never got into using it until a couple years ago. That’s when I discovered the magic of forums. :retard:
First thing I remember is looking for pictures of Sonic the Hedgehog and watching my older brother play flash games at Newgrounds.com
I knew of the internet back in the Windows 3.1 days.
My family had one computer, a $3000 behemoth with the 5 1/2" true floppy drive on it. I still have this computer around, but no serial-mice to hook up to it. You know it’s old when the power-button is a toggle-switch, and it has a Turbo option.
We had America Online, but rarely used it as the one phone line was usually more important than having someone on the internet. I don’t remember anybody using email. There certainly wasn’t any chatting or IMing going on. The computer was more used for offline data processing. And the occasional game:

We had to either locate and run the game through DOS, or type a command to run the Windows 3.1 interface and keyboard-around from there. It goes without saying that we didn’t have much to do on the internet.
The first real interactive game for me was Command & Conquer: Red Alert, almost right after it came out, when a friend had coaxed me into getting it. Those were the good ol’ days. We played, not over the internet, but by the individual modem networking.
Half-Life’s mods were the first actual games I played over the internet, with more than one person. A friend, again, had me play Counter-Strike with him. During that online LAN, I found TFC and became addicted.
Tank Wars was awesome.
The need to make a “2.5D” remake of it.
Fucking THIS. Trying to pvp when you’re on a laptop with a touchpad when your connection keeps cutting out is NOT FUN.
Brings up so many memories. Bad and good ones.
When I first learned about the internet I was little and played outside too much to give a fuck about it.
“Damn, that’s a lot of ads.”
“What the fuck is a u-tube?”
“E-mail?”
“Troll? Good thing I’m not a fucking goat!”
