My first LAN (we didn't call them parties) was just with my step brother. He brought his PC and we took 2 of 3 days to set up the network and the help of a local sysadmin. I went to many over the years, and it's somehow funny that LANs globally looked like ours even without widespread internet. I had small one with 3-6 friends. We used BNC for quite some time and always missed a terminator. I also attended big ones with 150-600 people. They were a great source of games and videos, when you didn't have internet. I did some LANs with friends later, when everyone had laptops. Was much easier. Than the big CRTs back in the day.
