I used to love starflight/art of war and a ton of others I can't recall anymore. I remember being blown away when I found I could hack the palette on the cga. And upgraded to evga just for warlords. Me and a buddy spent untold hours on warlords and I still to this day spark up a game of warlords 4. A few years ago we still had 4 guys playing warlords 4 pbem. I should get int ouch and get another game going.

Starflight was incredible, great story and a pretty fun game. Likewise I got Starcraft and spent a week solid playing it. As in I didn't bother to go to work, barely slept, etc.

When I got the first Everquest game I played it locally, then at the end of the adventure I was facing that big door with the button that said "Click here to join online". I thought about it, popped the CD, and tossed it in the trash. Because if I had played on my life would have been OVER.

Holt shit you almost described me exactly!

I never played a MMO because of that as well!

I had 8 systems setup 24/7 (4 upstairs and 4 in the basement) and had people over or months on end only leaving to goto work playing starcraft and a few others (halflife/quake).

remember tbase-2 network cables and bmc connectors for lan parties? fairly regularly had 4 people either here or a buds house and man those parties lasted forever. oh man nothing compared to all night drunken drugged fragging and racing.

then we all got married. while thats just as much (more even) fun i do miss the lan parties.
