I'M GONNA PLAY A GAME!' Ahh...good times. But actually online, over the internet online? Quake 2 deathmatches. Sweet sweet deathmatches. On dial up! Woo! 3 cheers for lag-leading the rocket launcher! |

Beat Writer  Posts: 196 Joined: 20 Sep 2008   | I was 17. Ele/Necro, named Vladimir Pyrobokor, on the original Guild Wars campaign. Yeah, that's right. It was less than 2 years ago. Oh well. |

Oh! I totally forgot about Jedi Knight! AND Age of Empires! Ahh...spamming 'Gold please' never got old. Oh wait...yes it did. Very quickly. |
Beat Writer Posts: 137 Joined: 8 Aug 2008     | Counting out those hilariously disgusting browser games, I think it'd actually be gears of war. It was still a couple of weeks before I spoke to anyone, though. I'm such a beautiful coward. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 384 Joined: 10 Jun 2008   | Well, I'm assuming you are discounting BBS doors and MUDs and such. Sticking to commercially available titles that require at least modem-to-modem connections, my first online game would have to have been Doom II. I was 21. |

GEEEEEEZER! Nah I'm kidding. Seriously, when was the last time you hear anyone talk about BBS? Much less even know what it is? Man that's a thread all it's own. And Doom 2? Classic. I used to do Doom 1 over LAN. |

I watched my buds play Doom I. I was busy finishing Ultima Underworld and trying to bed the waitress in Legend of the Red Dragon. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 57 Joined: 25 Sep 2008    | First game I played online was Diablo II on Battle.net. Good times.. Had to ask every time I wanted to play, and I didn't have my own computer either. That part was quite annoying, because it was my brother's game and we shared the computer, though in practicality, he owned it apparently. But sometimes he was nice to me and let me play Diablo II :) |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 659 Joined: 10 Aug 2008    | I think it's either between gears or COD3 since I had them at the same time when I bought my 360. I know I sucked incredibly badly either way, I've only just recently started getting better. -Ricky |

I hope this hasn't been posted before :P
What was the first online game you ever played? How old were you? What were your first impressions? Did it have an effect on what your favourite genre of games is, or what your favourite games are now anyway?
I'm just curious :)
The first online game I ever played was Counter - Strike 1.5 and I was 13 or 14 I think. This was also the first time I ever used a pc so I had not played half life or anything like that, really this was the first FPS I ever played also. It was on my brother-in-law's PC, he pretty much introduced me to the internet :P I was truely terrible at that game and didn't get good at first person shooters until a few months after CS:S's release. My first impression was literally WOW. I was hooked the moment I started playing, it was so new to me and was so exciting. My favourite genre of games are online FPS's and they have been since I first touched the mouse. I don't think it will ever change :)
