    Just in case anyone is actually interested, the game has released.

    I have to say, there is a part of me that wants to get this. Not for
    the story, or the intended nostalgia... but just for the joy of
    putting together a 90s-era network.

    That's not weird, is it?

    Only as weird as the average Homo Sapiens.

    So ya, pretty weird.

    I was never into LAN parties.. online multiplayer was good enough for
    me, even starting from the early days of Doom over Kali, Duke
    Nukem/TEN etc.

    My social life wasn't geeky enough to fit in with the LAN party crowd,
    so others will have to educate me on this.

    Under what circumstances would one want a LAN party to be "well-lit"?
    Any light other than the monitor itself would only get in the way of
    any sort of competitive gaming (which I assume were the point of these
    events?)

    I went to them during my and post college days (why was the first huge
    one before my graduation day?). I also did gaming online with my crappy dial-up modems from dorm and parents' home until 2001. College dorms
    didn't get network connections until after I graduated. Seriously, WHY a
    bad timing? :(
