1993/1994. Whenever Doom deathmatching became available.
I specifically got internet service to play Doom. I think the company was cyberwave?
I do rememeber when internet dating first started in the late 90's, with lavalife, and oneandonly, it was like fishing with dynamite. There was all these ultra mega dork guys, and some very cute, yet nerdy chicks that were so easy to pick up. 90% of your competition as a guy, was your typical DanD computer geek types, and if you were even remotely good looking, in reasonable shape, or had any sort of social skills (eg: game) you could have an unlimited supply of nerdy puss. And nerdy chicks, tend to be pent up freaks in bed. Better yet, you never had to introduce them to your friends, so you weren't worried about getting the odd dud, or fatty showing up. I mastered the art of coming down with an instantaneous 'fever' and 'nausea' as my bailout.
Man I made a lot of big promises and wrote a lot of cheques I couldn't cash back then...lol, I miss those days.
