I was there in the begining, c64. The first online game was Modem Wars.. Just like Ground Control / Supreme Comander but for 2, direct with 12oo baud modems. Kinda like lumpy foot ball field, setup your various sized / ranged team. 5 min max. Then move down the field. From wee spy's to one drednaught. No fog of war, they were just not drawn until you got close.
Later DooM with 4 ip adress's over arpa net. Nightmare getting started then no one dared quit. It would wreck it. Still have it installed.
Not so much the fave' game as how cool the evolution and tech was. Ravensoft did alot for the gaming world building on top of the DooM engine.The first real fog was from Raven'. Obsuring the distance and rolling in around yer feet. Heretic, thier first on DooM engine. There was a list of over a dozen things they brought to gaming ..I forget them all now. I still have it installed.
I have all the good ones still, all have updated engines and run on my Eyefinity tripplets.
DooM, Heretis HeXeN, Duke Nuke'em 3D, Quake, Unreal. Odd ones like Revenge of the Triad. Elder Scrolls series, Fallout, Test Drive, Need for Speed.
We ran servers from Quake forward, HeXeN 2, X-Men ..our own MOD Night Hunters on Quake 2.
RTS games didn't have that name yet. (Modem Wars)
RTS, Turn based and RPG were for wimps that couldn't get co-ordinated enought for shooters. I still played the better ones.
All fun.
Each has thier great moments. DooM's Spider Brains.. I would run the other way. Hellgate London ..something realy big was coming and going to eat ME! Run the other way. Night Hunters in the pitch black with rockets lighting the place up and looking for yer ass! RTOW!
Ground Control with its heavy artilery on hi, long and slow heavy barage, graceful and deadly. Trucks fish tailing in the dirt.
Hundreds of games.. some crap, some fell apart at run time (Diakatana). Change skins for naked ones. Or the one that was for MP Quake 2 ..with only hat, boots and eyes. And the hat an boots were optional.
Lotsa fun..
yep ya dirty casual xD
