It blew my mind back in the mid 90s the first time I played Doom in lan with a couple buddies. His dad had some sort of tech job and set up a couple desktops in the basement for us.

MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER IN A HOUSE?!

Best sleepover ever.

My friends would just bring their computers to each other's house for a sleepover. Along with their 50 pound monitor. I was amazed the little card table we sat at didn't collapse.

My friends and I played a ton of Doom on my company LAN back then. Getting it set up and working was a challenge but so worth it. Very fond memories.
