Did you use play multiplayer before XBL and PSN?

[SvennoJ]

Yes, actually xbl and psn turned me away from (online) multiplayer.

Local multiplayer from the start, and most recently Mario U.
First online multiplayer for me was fs4 through dial up modem.
Lan multiplayer for duke nukem 3D, half-life, quake, unreal, age of empires 2, unreal tournament, and more.
