This. I've moved on to better things now. Such as life.

Unreal Tournament G.O.T.Y. on PC

MapleStory... during the summer after my Freshman year of High School... I actually preferred that game before the pirates and when everyone was an explorer... when you could finish every quest of your level and still have to grind to get to the next one... it was great back then.

Runescape. I didn't like it at first but I played it while I was sick one day and sort of got hooked. It used to be a lot of fun.

Mortal Kombat Deception

Diablo 2...so long ago!

Ultima online. Man that was a long time ago ;-;

I don't know if it would count, but the first game I played with someone at a remote location was DOOM II. A friend of mine and I would play deathmatch with monsters late at night (like 10 PM - 2 AM), connecting our two PCs together via modem. I still miss the days of playing DOOM in a room lit only by a soft lamp with an orange lampshade (thus giving the room a dark hellish look), wearing headphones.

Now, as far as online over the internet? For me, that was the original Quake.

Rainbow Six Vegas. PSN was Obito_95 back in Nam. Life was good.

Mario Kart DS.

Eerily similar to my own story, except I don't remember whether I played Doom or Doom 2 over dial-up first. I think it was the original Doom.

It was either Starcraft or Grand Theft Auto, one quickly following the other.

Naive, pre-turn of the century flirtations with 56k phonelinking and official chat networks full of people who, as it turned out, actually knew how to highlight groups of characters in a single stroke, with buttons that let them deploy them to pointed tasks with superhuman speed. The mid-late nineties moment that delivered the internet to the curious hands of the common man, smuggling PC gaming culture into the living room that would eventually mutate into "Xbox" as the price to pay for the possibilities of the inevitable sci-fi leisures we'd dreamt the future would have. If this seems like a strange and offensive thing to say, it's because you came of age after evil had already won, and your fashion sense is probably terminally compromised. I'm sorry.

At some point The Matrix gets mentioned, but I'll spare us both.

Ragnarok Online, after that Brawl.

Modern Warfare 2(on PS3 2 years ago)
Halo(on Xbox 10 years ago)

Red Dead Redemption

super smash bros. brawl. still find that game fun.

Quake 3: EDIT: someone mentioned Ultima online, I forgot I played that too, when was that 1996?
