There's a lot of Apple for a LAN party...
Yeah, but it was a good shot that didn't have a bunch of the back of people's heads in it. Hard enough to find a pic of the back of a Ferengi.
StarCraft or Warcraft 3 from the ages of those computers.
I was that dude who brought his iMac g4 to an all PC LAN party
Big time loser, but I regret nothing!
Dune 2000, Red Alert, Counter Strike. Good times.
Counter Strike and StarCraft here
Starcraft LAN parties were always great.
Halo LAN parties are also right up there, for me. Made some good memories, even found a team for a time. We did local tournies, never anything big, but it was always fun showing up together at a party and get to face off against each other.
Diablo 2
Oh yeah! We did a few Diablo 2 nights as well!
You might love to know that some passionate modders have modernized those games. Allow me to introduce you to openRA
When my wife and I started dating like 20 years ago, I hauled my desktop computer and CRT monitor over to her house so we could play against each other in Sid Meyer's Civilization. Good times.
A reference to LAN parties, and a pun? This is my favorite post ever.
Also, I love how Morn has the giant crt lol edit: autocorrect
Hell yeah Unreal Tournament.
Facing Worlds too. Solid map.
Morn: :: look of astonishment, throwing hands up in air ::
Morn: ...
Monr: :: shakes head and keeps playing ::
For once he's speachless!
Lol Q's in there
Dat ass
Somebody has hardcore skills to get all those old PCs emulated properly on the holosuite.
Seems likely to be a Sisko/Quark collaboration, with possible omnipotent assistance from Q.
I also note that only Q will sit next to Morn, beacuse only he can use his omnipotence to cause Morm to take a break from monopolizing the conversation.
