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 real 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.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.* (Two parts because back then YT limited uploads to 10 mins) Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVrZRgVGrs, Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3-_N3kwMqQ
