Xband was a meritable achievement for the 16-bit era, giving console gamers their first true, multiplayer online experience. I personally remained an active part of the network for approximately a year, mainly engrossed with the SNES <i>Super Street Fighter 2</i> community. Eventually, the network was forced to shut down its operations, victimized by bad timing and a gradual lost of interest (not to mention, the 16-bit generation was on its way out).

God was the xband fun. I was a genesis user and played quite a bit of SSF2T, Madden '95 ('96 was up too but I wasn't as good at it) and MK2. I can remember staying up all night playing (since my parents hated me tieing up the phone line during the day) and falling asleep in homeroom because of it back in my middle school years.
I think back then I went by Zero G. Good times, I just recently got back into online gaming.
Great idea for an article BTW.

Let me just apologize for leaving out so many words and grammer errors in that interview. I should look over what I write before hitting "enter" :confused:
i don't see no errors. *runs and edits so Rob sounds super cool* ;)
I wasn't interviewed. So it sucks. :)
your time will come - eventually.
Which reminds me, I'm gonna play cvs2 soon...
