- lelandfe 4y agoXbox System link was a thing, for a time. Xbox Live and co. was probably the real death knell of LAN.
- giobox 4y agoSystem linking IMO came of age even earlier, in the PS2. The original PS2 hardware could system link over 4 pin FireWire (I-Link in Sony speak or whatever they branded it). Late generation ps2 hardware dropped the FireWire port. Connecting two PS2s via FireWire/I link, two multi-taps and two big tvs for 8 player time splitters 2 is an all time favourite memory of mines. Memory is fuzzy, but I think Gran Turismo 3 also could do this.
