Xband Former Players Thread
Xband Former Players Thread
Any of you former Xbanders out there, for both systems, post on here what game you played, what system, and your favorite part about Xband.
Willing to play Bomberman, Duke Nukem 3d, Virtual On, Sega Rally. Send me a PM.
I played the heck out of NHL hockey
I lost 1 match to undefeated player named Runawaytrain. he ended up ranked number 1 I ended up ranked number 2 on the board. This guy smoked me. I mean I had never been beat so bad at that game. 14 -2 or something rediculous like that.
I have sega rally, virtual on, duke nukem all warmed up and ready to go. its been years so I am a little rusty take it easy on the old man LOL
Well I wish I could have played. I really like mario kart and I want to be able to play it online. I never knew that Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo could play games online until I found this website. Now since it has sparked my interest I wish I could play it online.
Play over 9,000+ games on http://www.mjgaming.co.cc
Unfortunately, even if we can get it working, there aren't likely to be many players left. I mean, we could still schedule matches, but the likelihood of finding a random match would be pretty low.mjgaming wrote:Well I wish I could have played.

I have my Saturns, I have some of my games, I have a RasPi. Gotta put all this stuff together!
Well I would love to still play but I have digital phone service and that just wrecks any connection that I get with anyone. I still have my netlink and the games but may have to move on but dont want too. digital phone is too cheap to give up I pay 19.99 per month with unlimmited long distance. I did look into switching my line back to regular phone service and they wanted 120.00 to hook me back up and 68.00 per month with unlimmited long distance. I would be crazy to do so. I do miss playing netlink so much one of my favorite times in videogaming was blasting someone on VO or kickin the crap out of someone on sega rally. Times have changed and technology is starting to move past the netlink Xband was also sweet I played the heck out of street fighter II and NHL hockey I loved those games! at onetime I was ranked 2nd on NHL hockey and connected with the 1st ranked player who was named runaway Train. well the game did not turnout well for me. He didnt call himself runaway train for nothing he beat me so bad on NHL hockey I thought I was a good player he took it up a notch and smoked me 14-2 just embarrassing lol

SNES XBAND MADDEN 95
I mainly played MADDEN 95. I was the best out there. I took on everybody. I won many tournaments unsponsered and sponsered. I lost occasionly, but i betcha my opponents pee their pants doing so.
I also had a club too. C.O.T.N. (Creatures Of The Nights) It was a madden club. I had about 110 madden players.
I also did a paper called Tombstone News for quite some time.
I remember this guy called XXX and he was always #1 on the list. He claimed he was the best, but never played nationwide so he said. I believed he did play nationwide but under a different name, but could never prove it. I kept records of all my matches and where they were from, so i had an idea of who his other name was when he played me. Also remember Oaktown Playa! also known as OP! we became good friends and he was very good, but local player, so i couldnt play him. One time he upgraded to nationwide and we arranged a game. i dominated the game, but he would always pull out 1 lucky play to score or get a field goal. Anyways, we played to a tie!! I was so disapointed since i was the one making him look bad. Good times!! That was some of my memories.

Re: Xband Former Players Thread
Holy Cow! Talk about a blast from the past.
I played MK2 on Sega and loved getting the phone calls after a match saying, "Why you cheesing mother F@*er!" LOL!
I remember getting my butt whooped by Unknown XXX since we were local in NYC.

Re: Xband Former Players Thread
Welcome to the board! I remember the phone calls, too. I think it's going to be hard for newer gamers to believe that back in the day, after an "online" game, you could pick up the phone and chat up your opponent.

Re: Xband Former Players Thread
Man i wish this was still around. I played on SNES, i was TheAlmighty1 and played Super Street Fighter 2 and was a badass in that I also played MK2 and some others. I also remember i used to do wrestling news and contests on my other profiles.
We had a big group that used to record the dial tones the xband made so we could figure it out and make free long distance calls to each other, though Xband found out and called all of our houses to talk to our parents about what we were doin lol.
Those were awesome times

Re: Xband Former Players Thread
Those recordings would be interesting to hear if they still exist.

Re: Xband Former Players Thread
That's interesting.
I suppose it was some kind of free call to users paid by xband. The software did the noises and the call was billed to them.
But that sounded so simple that I imagine a lot of people "hacked" similar stuff all the time.
I remember some dial up billing plans advertising "free internet" but not free calls. I always wondered if fax machines abused these kind of plans.
