Anyone interested in a RETRO LAN Party?

[techjesse]

We recently held a retro LAN party in Northern California. I'd like to do another one this Spring.

 

Would be awesome if LTT included a retro section for their next LAN or did a specific retro LAN event. Let me know if anyone is in the Sacramento area and wants to join our next one. The only requirement we ask (for strangers) is that you bring your own retro computer.

 

Here is a clip from the retro LAN party we held this past October:

I will smoke anyone in combat evolved and look good doing it

I used to host Diablo 2 parties; It was such a great time!  I wish i had friends... good lord I used to be so much more fun...

What game are you planning on doing? AOE is always a great game when you have people in the same room: put 5 humans against one "max difficulty" bot civilization and it's a great comradery builder.

Awesome! Diablo II is still one of my all time favorite games. I was just playing the remastered version last night in fact. We played StarCraft, Duke Nukem, some Doom. Next party we will definitely be playing Counter Strike and DII.

My friend group often had LAN parties back in the day, Unreal Tournament and Aliens vs predator (1999 version) were the go-to for us. Fun times.

Will we have to duct tape someone to the ceiling?

I’m down

 

I would just have to find the graphics drivers for the integrated graphics for the hardware that I can’t identify because I don’t have drivers installed. *sobs in drivers that didn’t work*

A bit too retro for me it seems, I'm from the GunBound era. ;(

I’m too young as well but I spent my childhood playing red alert
