May 13, 2015 at 6:47 comment added radwar My source is my first hand experience (yes, I am that old :-) in 1995 there were three games for LAN-matches that everyone played: DOOM2, Descent and Mechwarrior. For Mechwarrior there was an expansion called NetMech which allow up to 8 player to battle. Because there were only 2 factions in Mechwarrior, players had to choose one Clan.
