Who remembers the old MSN Gaming Zone?

[JEDIYoda]

It has been a very long time!
Who also remembers the Sysop`s? or the members plus program?

I went by the handle +Cappuccino_x2!!

This will iether bomb or be fun to renew old times...

Yah used to play Rainbow 6 on there all the time in 98 or so.

Then it got to be just Koreans playing there for some reason.

[TallBill]

I was probably my username that I had on here before changing. Bonus points for someone that can remember.

 

[thegimp03]

Ah, yeah, I use to play checkers on there. Jesuitman0 was the handle.

 

[nonameo]

I played TA on the zone a little bit.

 

[silverpig]

I used to play X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter and Rainbow 6 on there a lot. XvT was great fun. My old clan's geocities page is still up 🙂

Rainbow 6 was kinda weird though. GOGOGOGOOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO.

 

[WisMan]

I played hours and hours of Rainbow 6: Eagle Watch on MSN Gaming zone.

No idea what my old handle was though.

 

[duragezic]

I was definitely on there a bit but I don't remember what games. AoE maybe?

Who remembers Kali? And Mplayer? 🙂

I see mplayer.com redirects to Gamespy Arcade. Did the company who did Mplayer later become Gamespy?

 

[JEDIYoda]

Gamespy bought MPlayer

 

[Homerboy]

Screw MSN Gaming Zone. Mplayer was where it was at.

 

[KMFJD]

I used to play Age of Empires 1-2 on the Zone...

 

[sjwaste]

I used to play AOE2 there. I still play it occasionally through GameSpy.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I can't remember my name, I use to play Rainbow 6 all the time till I discovered Counter-Strike.

 

[ViviTheMage]

I remember playing a few games on that crap...haha.

 

[Tim]

I played rainbow six on the zone from 98 untill the day they closed shop on that game.

Oh look, nobody cares. 😛

 

[finite automaton]

I used to play Quake II there all the time with my good friend. Ah the memories.

 

[Genx87]

MSN Gaming zone made Flightsim multiplayer so easy. The new integrated lobby system of FlightsimX sucks really bad. A huge step backwards.

 

[mugs]

I played when it was the Internet Gaming Zone and it just had ~6 games, all board games I think. I just played Chess.

 

[Balr0g]

I was on there since it was just like chess/card games originally.

But then it progressed and I played Quake 2 on it a lot.

I got kicked out of servers a lot because people said I was a bot since I had a 400 ping and was beating the shit out of everyone.

 

[clamum]

I used to play Age of Empires II on MSN Gaming Zone, good times.

Quake over MPlayer and Command and Conquer over Kali = old school win. 😀

 

[dabuddha]

God I loved and hated Kali 😀

 

[Aikouka]

I used to play Rainbow Six on it before it became the MSN Gaming Zone and it ended up dying out (surprise). I don't remember my old handle.

 

[LS8]

R6 and JK ruled on the Zone. Ahh the clan wars. The late 1990s, gaming at its finest!

[TridenT]

I played JKDF2 and AOE2 and other games on there... I was under the name TridenT_Boy3555 😛

<----- BTW, I ARE 1337 POSTAR.

EDIT: I remember doing lots of "hacks" on the zone. You could crash the rooms and stuff, it was fun. 😀 The easiest "hack" was the 99 player room hack, lol. Just edit the registry entry for the room number and yay, you got 99.
