First online game?

[axia777]

Diablo. I loved it so much I played way to much.

 

[hopeneverdies]

f2p RS. When your 11 yrs old in the previous generation and your done with your ps2 for the day, it was the first thing I came to.

 

[MasterCheifn]

Crimson Skies. I hope they come out with a sequel.

I believe my first online gaming experience was actually the independent PC game "Slime Online" by BlaXun. I've only had broadband a couple of years, and my PC isn't astounding, so until I hooked up my PS3 to the internet, it was only really indie games I played online.

 

[Kontar]

Command and Conquer on a modem. Oh, the memories.

I remember when I first got cable, I couldn't play TFC well for a while after because everything ran so smooth it threw me off.

 

[Kilo24]

The Starcraft demo, over a 56k modem. Though I would have loved to get Tyrian or One Must Fall working online earlier than that, I never did.

 

[Supernovajake]

Motorstorm. I won as well!

Although getting every gold medal and obsessively learning the tracks in time trial may have had something to do with it.

I can't really remember my internet speed at the time but my first online game was Runescape [www.runescape.com] which is a little embaressing to admit as I'm now a competitive FPS player.

 

[Alexious]

Final Fantasy XI, and I spent my first few hours trying to make conversation with NPCs....

 

[KeithA45]

It was either Red Alert (the first) or Starcraft, and over a modem. And it was surprisingly easy, if I remember correctly.

 

[Matty-C]

I played Runescape for the first 3 years of my online gaming.

In fact I just let my membership run out last month... *hangs head in shame*

 

[ThePlasmatizer]

My first online game was a browser based spaceship game, my first mmorpg was Ragnarok Online (it was a private server) and my first fps was Delta Force: Task Force Dagger.

Good grief, young crowd here. Only two BBS answers?

My first was Doom (1993) which was a huge pain to connect. I vaguely remember manually typing IP addresses at a DOS prompt and hoping a lot. We were all across a campus network, so speed wasn't an issue.

I suppose technically I had connected to a MUD or two prior, but never actually played.

 

[Railu]

Quake.
God I'm old.
:Edit: Scrolling up and reading a little more I realized I also played games on aol long before quake like Federation and Gemstone 3.

No shame in that. Quake was my first online game too back in 1996.

Followup question: When were you first on the internet?

1995 (maybe 1994) on a 14.4 through AOL here (even though that isn't REAL internet).

hahaha, same here. How could you not with a 4 foot tall stack of floppies that you always ended up with? After 1 week of service and a phone bill to rival a congressional bill, we quickly switched to a local access internet provider.

And yes, I said floppy disk. But my first modem was a 9600 baud. When we upgraded to 14.4, I thought it was so much faster. You can imagine my elation when I got my first 28.8

Those were good times. Simpler times. You had to actually try to have someone insult you over a chat, and even then they used whole words and sentences.

 

[Doug Damage]

Probably either Federation, a Text based MMO on America Online or Age of Empires (the first one). Can't remember which.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Call of Duty. It was so much fun to play online with people that I got addicted and actually never bothered to beat Call of Duty: United Offensive because I was having so much damn fun playing online.

 

[jahsol]

MUD back in the late 80's early 90's. Was on BBS around the same time too.

Graphic games I would have to say Command and Conquer.

 

[master m99]

Rune.....I can't do it, But that.

Oh god I forgot, I guess that was my first online game too then *hides face in palms*

same =(
