[edit] Multiplayer Video Games vs. Multiplayer game
It appears as though these two articles' content refers to the same thing, and should thus be merged. Spinnick597 02:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
NB: I just disputed the separation of Multiplayer game and Multiplayer video game and I call to merge Multiplayer video game with PC Multiplayer and move the result to Multiplayer game. Please see my arguments and post your opinions and counterarguments at Talk:Multiplayer_game#Contesting the Move. Thank you.
[edit] Single-system PC games?
Why are there not more single-system real-time multiplayer video games for Microsoft Windows OS? Why do they all have to be console exclusives? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 06:10, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I think there should be info on console online gaming, which started around 2002.--Attitude2000 19:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Online Console Gaming should have its own page Dylan Mather 22:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Diablo
Diablo is not an MMORPG, it's an RPG with an online component.. Unless I'm misunderstanding the term MMORPG as it is used in this article, the wording should be changed. 151.151.21.101 19:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Ok, it drove me crazy and I changed it. 151.151.73.171 19:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History
This article needs a history section:
- Which was the first multiplayer game? Maze War or Empire are candidates, but they were AFAIK run centrally (on a mainframe or somesuch) and only the action was displayed at the remote terminal.
- The first game I know where two computers running a separate instance of a game exchanging "game data" over a network is either U-Boat Hunt or Hunter-Killer both by Protek, released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum using the ZX Interface 1 for the networking. There are probably older examples.
- Which was the first to use Internet?
- Impact?

[edit] POV
" such as in the outrageously awesome Worms series " Nice to see we're keeping a neutral POV. Please fix such vandalisms by removing the offending adjectives.Montecarlocars 05:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History of Multiplayer games on Consoles
Unless objections are made, this section should be deleted. It is meaningless. All console games feature multiplayer. Some consoles allow for more simultaneous players than others, and this is covered in the section that follows. Bulbous 03:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Deleted this section and provided intro for the section that followed. Bulbous 02:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Number of simultaneous players
This section is pretty useless, too. It's just a list. I'm going to delete it unless there are objections. Bulbous (talk) 14:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
