Net Fest 1998
The fest meets kept getting bigger but less often. The addition
of the Sega Saturn console introduced the game Bomerman into the
fray with a 7 or 8 player hookup. Bomberman rounds are very cool
with that many players involved. A couple strategy games started
sneaking into the play lineup, such as Command And Conquer, War
Craft 2 and eventualy Star Craft. Star Craft rounds quickly became
notoriously long and very involved, which is why they usualy happened
later on during the event (usualy starting around 3:00am).
The average machine also got better with the mean being a 200Mhz
AMD or Pentium, Voodoo or Voodoo2 chipset graphics cards, and
even a 10-Based T network connection. Win95 games became more
interesting when Quake 2 and Unreal came out. These games are
pleasently simple to get started as anyone can join a game in
progress as they arrived, compared to several tries to get 8 people
started in Duke Nukem. (:

This net fest was at Powerslave's parent's new house before they
moved in. We did Quake 2 a lot at this one, which officialy starts
the Quake 2 gaming for us I suppose. There was a big issue with
trying to get a bunch of network cards to work for the longest
time, some were extras Windsinger brought over, others were just
troublesome.

This net fest was at Teufel and Kasta's place. I don't remeber
what what on here specificly. I do know we did Unreal, which was
pretty cool. It was an unstable game to network, but the weapons
were very cool in it. The unstability of the networking in it
though kept us from playing it more often at the fests.
