Would you like to take a step back in time into the Late 90s early 2000s when online gaming born. When instead of dozens of online shooters to choose from there where only a hand full? When gamers were so passionate for their game they played it for years (some still do to this day) optimizing their skill set and pushing the limits of the game engine. I’m happy to say that many of these games are still around and have a small community and on top of that you can get the games for free!

I’m going to get right to it and give you all the information you need to get started playing these classic titles today!
