my old ass still remembers when playstation had the free online multiplayer

My old ass remembers when there was no online multiplayer and you had to cram four students onto an inflatable plastic sofa, close enough that the wires from the multitap reached.

I always wanted to do the system link with two psones as a kid but I didn't know anyone who had the thing for it.

We did that quite a few times, mostly with two of the best racing games ever; the Wipeouts & Ridge Racer Type 4. Both awesome soundtracks, both awesome games, usually drunk or high after coming in from an awesome night out.

Cool, I wanted to play bushido blade on the system link myself.

I never actually played Bushido Blade. Apart from a bit of Tekken I (and most of my peeps) were racing game fans mostly.

It's fun, really unique fighting games based around swords and has one hit kills.

I remember when I had a sofa in my bedroom, and schoolmates would come over over to get their asses kicked in GoldenEye 007 multiplayer.

I tried playing Splinter Cell online. I was killed several times by an invisible player. I promptly logged off and never went back to online games.

You got out-stealthed in a stealth game.

Shame. Spies v Mercs was one of the best multiplayer games ever. idk if it would hit the same today but in the Chaos Theory/Double Agent era it slapped.
