I was there, Gandalf. I was there when they released it on the internet and you could play the first few levels multiplayer for free. Installed on the university computers..
Playing our hidden games on the school's network. Good times. Back then if you knew a few lines of code you could give your session administrator privileges. That was when internet security existed because so few people knew how to use a computer, let alone a local network or the internet. An entire computer lab playing against another entire computer lab in whatever those games were called. The most popular was light cycles, an open source Tron clone.
