Memories from old LAN parties
I remember my earliest LAN game was the first Warcraft RTS, mainly because slower school computers could still run it and it allowed for "spawn installs". I got to experience <i>real</i> LAN gaming later in the 90s because I traveled to Europe. Sure, my friends in the US would play Tribes, Descent, and Quake, but we never had a room full of powerful enough computers to play it on a LAN.<p>When I got back to the states, I was hooked. I built my first PC (a Pentium III with an ATI RAGE 128, I believe). I must have been 14. A few years later, I made a video* about the LAN parties. It's a good time capsule of the experience.<p>* (Two parts because back then YT limited uploads to 10 mins) Part 1 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVrZRgVGrs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVrZRgVGrs</a>, Part 2 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3-_N3kwMqQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3-_N3kwMqQ</a>
