Online gaming had been around for a while in the PC world, but console gaming got its first real taste of cyber space with the Sega Dreamcast. Yes there was X-Band and the Saturn had a modem but the Dream was the first system to do it right.
I remember staying up late most of my Junior year of high school playing Quake 3. I dont know how many times I came down with the "one more game" syndrome, which caused me to be late most mornings. Luckily though I knew of a way to sneak into school without getting caught.
The game I plunked the most hours into and I am sure I am not alone here was Phantasy Star Online. Geez I loved that game. I never played a game like it before, with its great cyber-punk Blade Runner meets Tron style. The music drew you into the world and worlds were beautiful to explore. If you met up with 3 strangers and finished the game with them, by the end of the night you had made a few new friends.
I always waited till late at night to play so no one would call and kick me off lone (ahh the days of dial-up). I still play it sometimes, offline of course. I will just walk around the ship and listen to some of the music and remember the good ol' days.
Anyone else have memories of playing Dreamcast online?

The only Dreamcast game I played online was Chu Chu Rocket.
I did try to play Worms World Party online, but it didn't work for me.
