Starcraft was my first online game, to this day I'm still awful at it. It was actually where I first learned the acronym "lol". Yeah, I basically lived under a rock.

starcraft was my first online non browser game. where I always joined no rush games and rushed.

Anyway, what was your first online gaming experience?
Doesnt matter if it was a one time, one minute thing, id really like to know from
everyone.

My first experience that lasted up until they finally shut the game down in March
was a game called Infantry (Sony), which was developed by the folks who made Sub Space.
i put years into my RPG character on one of the zones only for it to be erased. The game died due to them making it pay 2 play back in the day, and shitty zone rotations. Instead of putting up all the zones at once, they would put up the crappy ones no one would play so after a while i figured most of the loyal players of Infantry stopped checking the zone list.

Sadly there is no other game out there like infantry. thats what makes me sad, this game was a pinnacle in its day. my second online experience that became a regular thing was Counter-strike 1.6. That game is dying too if im correct.

I played Infantry on and off from 1999-2008. I had no idea that it was shut down. They ruined it with the P2P implementation. Before that, there were thousands of people playing. It was so much fun...if they could revive it and repopulate it, then I would play again.

The first online game I remember playing is Diablo. I was more into Starcraft and Unreal when they came out soon afterward, though.

Medievia. That may age me a bit. :rolleyes:

Ultima Online or Warcraft II over modem with a buddy, not sure which I did first.

I played medievia also!

A flash WW2 game with an isometric view you played in a browser, then Action Half-Life, Diablo II, Starcraft, etc. Then EQ and so forth. Probably a lot of small titles I can't remember.

diku mud called perilous realms. 92ish. Not counting all the messing around on BBSs in the 80s with my C-64. But that wasn't really gaming.

Tradewars. I loved that game.

Netmech and MW2: Mercenaries. Good times...

Kell Hounds report in! :cool:
