What was your first multiplayer game (online or local)?

Online, Unreal Tournament PC Gamer magazine Demo CD.

Dragon ball Z super botuden 2

BF1942. Didn't even realise the PC had internet for a few days.

Technically, SF2 Turbo I think?
Practically speaking it was 1.6

Frogs and Flies

Local - Mortal Kombat 2
Online - Halo 3

Tekken 2. It doesn't hold up nearly as well as Virtua Fighter 1 or 2, any of the subsequent Tekken games or Soul Blade/Soul Edge, but it's still not half bad. The soundtrack is great, it has a cool roster and it taught me a bunch of 10-hit combos that still work in every following Tekken game.

I was pretty amused that I got a digital copy of it Fo' Free with my PS5. I was like
>oh yeah there's no way they would be able to actually get people to pay money for this in current year lol

Probably pong, but it's so long ago I'm not sure if it was that or double dragon. I was pretty young. Does Mario count?

Worms or NfS, or possibly even POD, sharing a computer. I have a distinct memory of my parents watching over me and my brothers shoulders as we played. My dad was very proud of the family computer since he and my mom stole it from my moms office when they were throwing them out god that was a good fucking computer for 1996, she worked for a tech company that made text editing software and helped develop the "WASD keys as substitute arrow keys" concept so they were really excited games were starting to adopt it for movement. I miss split screen PC games.

I honestly forgot about local multiplayer in FPS games like doing 1v1's or 4 player FFA's. I used to cherish and hope to get enough people for matches like that.
Why does it seem so rare now?

>>714942992 (OP)
mario kart 64
runescape

You sell more games if you don't let people share.

>>714942992 (OP)
My fucking sides
Good idea though, fair play boys

First multiplayer? Probably one of the Medal of Honor games for the PS1, or some kind of racing/sports game. The first one I went real hard into was Tekken 3, played with a few friends and one of their older brothers who taught us stuff. He was nice enough not to shit stomp us too often

Online, socom 2, first time I ever heard someone say nigger on the internet.

either doom 2 or duke3d
played with my dad when i was like 7 or 8 and blew him up with rocket to the face and immediately had an immense feeling of regret like oh my god what have i done

>>714942992 (OP)
It'd likely be some arcade game, but I don't remember what kind. Tekken maybe? Metal Slug?

>>714942992 (OP)
How do screenwatchers recover from this?

My earliest video game memory was playing either Mario Party or Conkers Bad Fur Day on the N64 with my cousins. Fuck dude take me back

>>714942992 (OP)
Local - Mario Brothers
Online - Starcraft

>>714944506
Damn I didn't even consider arcade games. Dad would burn through $5 every time we saw one of those Area 51 cabinets, he fucking loved that silly ass game and so did I. We never got good at it though, I don't think we beat it once

>>714942992 (OP)
Pong

super mario kart probably
zombies ate my neighbors was cooperative
online game was starcraft

>>714942992 (OP)
ffxi

>>714942992 (OP)

>online
the ps2 ratchet & clank game that had online multiplayer
>local

First online game I played was Diablo 1.

>>714942992 (OP)
the og friend slopa...

>Does Mario count?
Yes if Mario Bros. No if Super Mario Bros

>>714945017
Myth the Fallen Lords for PC for online, I think.

Offline must have been Sonic 2 or Mortal Kombat I think.

>>714942992 (OP)
Probably couple rounds of Mortal Kombat during some school mates birthday party. Can't even remember the console. I just thought it was cool when I got Sub-Zero throw ice one time or so.

local multiplayer? I think it was one of the mario parties on n64

online? It was halo 2 or 3 I think. I remember being amazed that I could play with other people around the world from home. kinda funny that it's now a super normal part of life for me

>>714942992 (OP)
It was some Toy Soilder game on the PS1 I think. I forgot.

street fighter 2
online, starcraft over some direct dialup connection I remember we actually saved the game to play later because someone had to make a phonecall, imagine that you used to actually be able to save a multiplayer match mid game

>>714942992 (OP)
My first real vidya was Pokemon Blue which is technically multiplayer, but I never battled other people.
The oldest game I can clearly remember playing with someone was Kirby Air Ride with my bro, but we probably played some shit like Micro Machines on the N64 too.
I remember some other racing game we'd played that I figure was on N64 but I genuinely have never seen it since I was a kid and could barely even describe it at this point. All I remember is that there was a track where you're racing in the trees or something and there was another part where you were in an indoor skate park with power ups. I'm half convinced it doesn't actually exist.

>>714942992 (OP)
Worms 2 I think.

Locally Super Mario Bros, Chip'n'Dales NES, Turtles 2 on NES.

Triple Triad X on online, the card minigame from FF8 but fan made with decks from other FFs and Square RPGs.

>>714942992 (OP)
Maybe "General Chaos". There must have been something else before it, but I can't think.
Bloody good game btw.

>>714942992 (OP)
Contra on the NES with neighborhood kids.

My family sat together at the computer to play Myst, does that count?

>>714942992 (OP)
>online
The original Call of Duty (2003). Battlefield 1942 was the second online game that I ever played, and that's the one I was addicted to.

>local
Either Super Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog 2 if I had to guess. I don't remember.

>>714942992 (OP)
pretty sure it was mario kart 64

>>714942992 (OP)
local was street fighter 2 online was CoD 4

Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension, we rented it for the weekend and it was probably the best weekend of my entire life, playing nonstop with my brother.

>>714942992 (OP)
local - MoH 1999 (PS1)

multiplayer idr Unreal maybe
