Like many people, my first experience of multiplayer deathmatch came in 1993. The game was the recently released Doom, and setting up a bout required my old mate Bri driving round to pick up my PC and my monitor, putting it with his on his kitchen table, linking the two up by a null-modem cable, spending about an hour fiddling with settings, then crossing fingers and hoping for the best. It was clunky and painfully slow, and required nearly two grand’s worth of equipment, but – boy – was it fun.
