I still remember my first LAN parties about 15 years ago with IPX protocolls, BNC cables that from one moment to the other would not work and games like C&C and Quake. There was something special about those LAN parties, there used to be about 5 or 6 of us sharing a slow DSL connection of 512KB. Since one of our buddies was the only one at the moment with a "faster" connection it was something very special to be able to download something without waiting hours. Sharing files and pictures was something special also that I will never forget. When fragging someone in Quake gave a real kick or running over someones base in C&C just gave you a huge self confidence boost.Check it out over here.
