Only had one modem.  Just had to drag the entire computer to a friend's house.  No lag, man!

damn right. it was way faster to disassemble the computer and drag it down to my friends house than it was to transfer 10 mb of shareware games like commander keen and doom between us at 9600 bps via modem.

that was before pkzip made it super easy to beak big files down to floppy size.

Yep 1200/75 for online fun with my 25mhz 486 SLC and doom!

I remember going to a friends house who had a thing in his computer called a sound blaster, instead of beeps and buzzes he had real sound effects and Wolfenstein was the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!!! (before doom)

Doom LAN party at a friend of a friend's house.

Had to work that day so I showed up with my computer 10 hours after it started -- party still going strong.

12 systems on 2 LANs spread through the living room and dining room.

An hour later, someone loads up a modded deathmatch level with TONS of ammo/weapons to grab.

The mod changed the sound of picking up an item to Homer Simpson saying "Donuts".

"Do, do, don, donu, do, do, donuts, donuts, do, donuts. . . ."  Some of the guys were laughing too hard to play.   :laugh2:   :laugh2:   :laugh2:

It was a running joke for months.

Soundbaster was for XWing and TieFighter.  Endless nights of supreme tie fighter action.  :applaud:
