20. Unreal Tournament (1999), Counter-Strike (2000) & Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)
System: The computers at my high school
Played with: the other students in my electronics class

I have no conceivable way of differentiating these three experiences in my head, because to me, they were all experience. In high school, I took two semesters of Electronics (I and II). The class had a desktop computer for each student (probably around 15 in the class) that were necessary for the bulk of the work. Well, the teacher of the class was pretty laid back, and had a rule that if you finish all the work for a given class, you can play a game on the computer until the bell rings (which, if we were lucky, was about 10 minutes). I was one of the brighter students in the class, which meant I was typically one of the first onto the computers to grab weapons and find good sniper spots on our LAN games. At first it was just UT, which was basically just a race to see who could get the rocket launcher, then eventually CS became the go-to game, with easy-to-join matches and different team-based game modes. Halo matches consisted almost entirely of sniper shootouts from opposite sides of Blood Gulch, with at least one person always tried to run over people with the Warthog. It was mostly mindless competitive fun and a much-needed break from school at the time.
