It’s a shame LAN parties aren’t much of a thing anymore, given how powerful of a gaming computer you can pack in a mini-ITX case these days and the complete ubiquity of flat panel displays. You wouldn’t even necessarily need a wired network (though still desirable).
I couldn't even play runescape on my dialup connection, not even play and have a laggy experience but play the game at all because they had a speed test check.
If everyone there had a beefy rig, you'd seriously need to consider power draw and running another circuit or two or extension cords all over the house depending on how many people you have.

It died really because you can actually game on home internet unlike in the dialup era.
