I played Warcraft 2 with a 14.4 modem dialing directly to my friend’s modem across town in 1996.
It was novel and kinda fun to tell my mom what we were doing, but it was so slow that we never bothered again. The taste led to wanting to go nuts when broadband hit, whcih coincided with going to college and getting on a T1 line.
Right before Napster killed all college network speeds.
