Article moved to Multiplayer game[edit]

Thought it would be better this way, because there are articles like Multiplayer online game and Massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and this seems more informal. Sorry if I did something terrible. - Sylph 23:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

This article needs a history section:

Which was the first multiplayer game? Maze War or Empire are candidates, but they were AFAIK run centrally (on a mainframe or somesuch) and only the action was displayed at the remote terminal.
The first game I know where two computers running a separate instance of a game exchanging "game data" over a network is either U-Boat Hunt or Hunter-Killer both by Protek, released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum using the ZX Interface 1 for the networking. There are probably older examples.
Which was the first to use Internet?
Impact?
