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.
