Nostr feels like the 2023 version of a Halo LAN party
(This is the highest echelon of praise possible)

Look at the size of those TVs!
Remember having to move those damn things?! Now we move a 55inch like it’s nothing
Good times. If you didn’t trip the breakers your party wasn’t cool enough.
My LAN parties consisted of America’s Army, Age of Empires (many versions), Starcraft, Call of Duty (Classic), Quake II… and I’m missing many more games I can’t recall anymore.
Haha. Such memories.
Def did AOE, quake II of course, StarCraft, as well as counter strike 1.5.
World of Warcraft too
Funny story. My first LAN game from Doom over IPX.
I was in some summer program at NYU when I was 14, made some friends and brought in the CD.
While they were teaching us Excel we had 4 player going in their computer lab at max speed.
So much fun. Got in so much trouble.
hahaha, fond memories of computer labs <3 they weren’t as monitored/limited/blocked as they are today
Oh. My LAN nights consisted of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake I. That was a looong time ago
I see CRTs, but no smash bros. in sight.
Consider https://gamequitters.com if you *feel* gaming more than you like it.
Used to do this with my cousin and friends. Good times
I remember lan parties playing Duke via coaxial cable...
What an amazing time in history
