You see me now a veteran of a thousand LAN wars. Been living on the edge so long, where the winds of no-cd exe’s roar.
Mine was the house where we met. We did it for the social aspects and had tons of fun gaming. It involved food, drink and lots of smack-talk. I had eight gaming peeceez in various states of “at the ready”, but when systems got small they brought their own. The ancient IBM P200 20” CRTs over time were eventually replaced with 30” LCDs. The plastic tables still have the P200 dents so the LCDs needed shimmed to be level. Fun stuff.
That’s all memories now. Still have some systems but life has overtaken me and everyone else these days. Such is life.
Nice BOC reference.
