Well, I guess AIR COMBAT for the Atari could count, but then there's Super Mario Bros for the NES that my sister and I would play in 2 player mode to see who could beat it first (she did). I used to play my friend in Doom on dial up connection, but the first real massively multiplayer game I played was Air Warrior when it was on AOL (a free to play).
