OT: first online game?

Quakeworld, dunno about most addictive, but I've played CS for years. I'll never be as good at a game as I was at Quake2 though ;)

Quake 2

World of Warcraft. If you're the least bit geeky then DO NOT GO NEAR THIS GAME, I mean it. It'll suck you in.

Other than that, I used to play Ghost Recon for hours on end with my mates. Pre-skype, we used Teamspeak to coordinate attacks etc.

I play over T-Mobile mobile connect when in hospital. It kills time really well. I'm a level 50 warrior, I think, I can't remember it's been a few weeks heh. I don't play at home though cos I don't get bored like I do in hospital.

I started in Jan and have got hooked, there is no going back now, I have a lvl 40 priest, a lvl 30 mage, lvl 30 dranai shamman, I even bought Burning Crusade :( to top it all off I even got a Zboard....

Please people for the sake of you love ones, don't try the 10 day free trial :)

haha your all geeks! mind you i'm the same with oblivion on the 360, had to force myself to stop but now they got add on coming out! bang goes the social life...

Good God, you bunch of fk'ing nerds :) And that (fake) Stevens was calling *me* a geek ???!

I don't really see the addiction. I play for like, an hour at a time and then get bored heh. As I say, I don't play at all when I'm at home.

Unreal Tournament

Doom for me over IPX/SPX.

Yea baby! that's what I'm talking 'bout you duuurty little minx :)

Concentrate on your priest and get them up to level 60 (70 now, I guess). You'll have people begging for you to do the high level instances (which is what you want, for your class armour sets). Instance raids are always short on healers.

LMAO IPX/SPX that's proper old skool hehe

Same here.

I think I first played a few head to heads like that in Doom/Doom2

But first proper allout online gaming was Quake. Prefered the UT games to the Quake games though.

Quakeworld on a shit phoneline. It was shit. Quake on a LAN, or UT I think if you're talking proper online...

:)

Points noted. Both my PS2 and Xbox have the relevant leads but I've no plans to do any sort of online gaming...

It's bad enough that I put almost 400,000 miles onto my Gran Turismo 4 Ka and I appear to have worn the disc out...

My first online game? That flight simulator, hmm, what was it called? Oh, yeah, Air Warrior on my Amiga. This was back in the early 1990s. Anyway I upgraded to SVGA Air Warrior in about 1994.

Most addictive? I failed my stockbroker exams because of the original Gran Turismo game. Twice.

There is one game I've been playing on and off for about fifteen years now, that's the first two X-Com games, The Enemy Unknown and Terror From The Deep.

x-com ah man that brings back days from when i was at school x-com ruled!
