Description: Launched in 1994 by Cupertino, California-based Catapult Entertainment, XBAND was one of the first competitive online gaming networks at a time when online gaming was still a fairly new concept. XBAND was delivered as a modem that plugged into the cartridge slot of popular consoles, which in turn allowed the game cartridge to be piggybacked in its own slot, and as a plug-in PC version later. The client-side system worked by manipulating game memory similar to Game Genie and other third-party game mods of the era, while also allowing players to connect via dial-up. Gamers could play head-to-head, compete for the high score on leaderboards, and eventually, in national tournaments. Despite reasonable popularity, XBAND was shut down in 1997.
