umm team fortress, half life, diablo, quake, starcraft, return to castle wolfenstein
Wow, NOBODY remembers Modem Wars?? It was from Ozark Softscape, created by Dan (Dani) Bunten and was amazing over a 300 baud modem. RTS way ahead of it's time.. We had amazing fun with this one. It was also our first LAN game

Cops and Robbers all damn day. Still no open world online racing game has matched the fun of MM Cops and Robbers for me.
Also,
HL + HL Mods (CS, TFC, Day of Defeat, Front Line Force, ActionHL, Science & Industry.. probably more)
Quake 2
Unreal Tournament
Madden 2000
NBA Live 2000
Ping under 200 was pretty excellent back in the day. TFC ran at a steady 300 for me, but CS was usually in the 250s.
Borderlands 2 would probably be the most recent I've tried. I don't buy a lot of primarily multiplayer games because I have no way of knowing if I'll get them to work. If it's got decent singleplayer that I like I might attempt multi just to see but usually it fails. I did play the Diablo 3 beta and it worked. I want to try Torchlight 2. I remember trying a Dota-like game but I can't remember if it was LoL or HON (I think it was HON). Ended up being too laggy. Even though its Unreal Engine, I cant make the proper changes to make Tribes Ascend work...which kills me because I love Tribes.
I'm not particularly interested in modern military shooters, MOBAs, or RTS games so a lot of the popular MP stuff I probably wouldn't be playing anyway.
Yes! Someone else that remember FLF!

And all was well. I would get up early before school to get some time in.
Damn kids, get off my lawn.
Shit I almost mentioned trade wars too.
Again another great BBS game. Playing with multiple people on that big BBS was awesome. It's like Eve Online... in text form.
I think it appeared even more fundamental. I just did a quick image search.

Dial-up without an ISP connection (direct connecting to friends using their phone numbers):
Duke Nukem 3D
C&C, C&C: Red Alert
Rise of the Triad
Dial-up with a ISP:
Quake 1 and 2
Unreal Tournament 1999
The Command and Conquer series, including Tiberium Dawn and Firestorm
HL Death match Classic
Diablo 2
Tactic Op's mod for Unreal 99
StarCraft
StarSiege
Death Rally
Ah, I know there;s a lot more that I can list here, but I am having a hard time remembering it all.
Dreamcast:
Daytona USA 2001
Quake 3
UT99
For me, I didn't switch to broad band until about 2002, I think. So I used to play quite a few multiplayer games online prior to that though dial-up.

Diablo, Starcraft, Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3 made up my entire diet considering I was also burdened with you Mac OS until I moved out of home.

Back in 2005 & 2006 I used to play Xbox 360 on free Netzero dialup. You were only supposed to get free 10 hours a month but I learned how to hack it for unlimited. I had also stole a router from school so that I could use internet sharing on my iMac. I used to play NBA 2k6 with friends from work. It was the only game I could play, everything else lagged to hell and back.
I had no money back then, saved my $5.15/hr gamestop pay checks to get the xbox and took 48 hours passes from all the game boxes.
Times were tough.

used X Band to play SNES MK2 online, it was slow and choppy but amazing in its time.
I still have my SNES xband... and the keyboard for it (which is really rare... you had to mail away for it and the service wasn't around long enough for many people to do that). The menus on that thing had cool music from what I remember. Mind you what 14-year-old me thought was cool is largely questionable. Same goes for 33 year old me.

Some Wyvern and Eternal Lands, but it was just too slow so I gave up.
