What's the biggest number of people you've ever played a retro game with?
For me, it was three - me and two of my friends over the internet.

four at once, a dozen or so if you count fighting tournies
>>
>>12489428
As in, played a game that is now considered retro regardless of when you played it, or played a game while it was considered retro? Those are two very different questions.
>>
>>12489436
The latter.

I got an 8 player Saturn Bomberman game going once, as far as a single game together. Also a LAN party/Smash Bros. tournaments in high school with like 16 people where we played Unreal, Halo, and Smash.

Played a ton of 4 player Goldeneye back in the day. Stack with rockets. Fun times.

>>12489428
4 people with Mario Party, I guess. They were all family members because I'm a friendless NEET subhuman.

10 player Saturn Bomberman at an anime convention (Project A-kon)
(The 1-8 player maps are better althoughbeit)
>>
4 player Super Off Road on NES at a birthday party when I was 10 or 11
>>

2-player games whenever another kid was over and interested. i remember them all thinking my /vr/ shit were valuable antiques, and since this was like 2008, i considered it laughable that they all came to that conclusion

Are you sure?
Well, by board definition Counter-Strike Source, I play a server with a 42 or 48 player cap and it's maxed out a few times in the last years.
I can't believe CS:S is 22 years old.

Sixteen. Buddy had a birthday and due to weird situations with divorces, he has three moms and three dads. Birthday comes around and they threw him a huge ass party. Halo 2 LAN Party. It was so wonderful.
Tyler S, where-ever you are, I hope you became the architect you always said you'd be. Your 12th birthday was sick.

I used to run a CPMA ICA server for Quake 3, varying between 16 to 32 players at a time. On a good day with players coming and going, there was easily over a hundred unique people per evening.
Fun times were had, though at times I was using it more like a chat server than for actually playing the game. Ended up badly injuring my wrist by falling down a staircase while drunk and had to give up playing games that required a mouse afterwards.
More than 15 years later and I still can't play Quake 3 for more than a few minutes without getting intense pain in my wrist. I quit drinking when COVID hit and been sober since.

Based. I miss the times when one could hop onto a server of an action game just to chill out, then immediately start fighting other players.

So you played with two people, not three, unless you were playing with yourself at the same time?

Vanilla WoW leveling w irl friends and then raiding w our guild. Same dudes I did halo 1 lan games when I ran a gym when I was 17. Having 40 people in Molten Core w another 20 waiting in the wings hoping to get a spot if someone’s connection failed. Great fucking times but while more challenging Halo was def more fun w everyone bringing tvs and cramming on couches all in one spot in this massive carpeted gymnasium.

Used to have Halo CE and CS lan parties all the time. The Halo ones were at a LAN center, so we often had 40+ people on tournament days.

It was awesome.
