Such great memories of my friends lugging over their huge CRTs and computer towers to play the original Unreal Tournament over the LAN my dad had set up with ports in the walls of nearly every room (he worked for Cisco during the dot com boom). We of course also played Quake, Duke Nukem, Starcraft, and Diablo over that LAN as well, but UT will always have a special place in my heart. They were some of the best of times, right up there with the most epic board game nights I've ever hosted.
I'd like to add Tribes 2 and Battlefield 1942.
We never got into Battlefield, but Tribes 2 was fantastic!
Easy Red 2 is a cheap, great successor to Battlefield 1942 if you're curious.
