#9: For Fun / For Glory: Multiplayer Gaming
The gaming landscape has included multiplayer experiences for as far back as anyone can remember or bother to document — Tennis for Two (1958) and Spacewar! (1962) are among the oldest works in the medium, older even than game consoles, arcade games, or personal computers themselves. Angela, Robert, and Zack are all at least a little introverted when it comes to play habits, but would be remiss to ignore the wide world of multiplayer.
