Metanet Forums

Tell your experience of the first time that you played the sensational Metanet game.

The first time that I heard about N was at the library, November 2005. My friend had shown my other friend the game, so he showed it to me. I was hooked instantly, and when my friend downloaded the game, he sent me the link. So i played it, and in May 06, while I was playing in the userlevels, I found the NUMA link. I quickly joined up. Thats how I heard about N and NUMA.

I first found the game posted on AddictingGames.com a long time ago (~2004). I beat the first episode then gave up because I could not beat 1-0 (I know, I was a n00b @ that time and had no persistence) Then, one day (2006 I think), I was with a friend when he brought up the game. He told me about the downloaded version. I downloaded it and was instantly hooked. Now, 2 years later, I have just 16 episodes to go in the game.

Computer Class > Free Time > Friend showed me.
End of story. Beginning of addiction.

School craze. Everybody played it at school. I jumped on the bandwagon and have been playing ever since.

Same as George. As it turns out, I'm the only one who still plays N, I think. Everyone else criticizes it as out of style. They obviously don't know what they're talking about. :P

Found NUMA/forums in winter 2005-2006 (I was a lurker during Legacy: Origins, if that helps.), joined NUMA in April 2006, forums in August.

Fast forward about three years, and I'm still here. :D

I was at a homegroup and someone showed me gprime.net. Well a couple of months later I find n on it and beat everything on it. I soon wanted more so I downloaded the full version. I made levels and tried to put them in the userlevels file with no luck. I told my friend (a computer genius) and he showed me how to do it and while he was showing me it he found the numa link. He told me, I made an account in the summer and have been making/playing maps ever since.

Well that's my story. :)

i actually figured out how to make maps (or atleast acess neditor)
about 3 months after i discovered numa.
i remember lookin it up on wikipedia and finding out all i had to do was press the key to the left of the 1 on my keyboard.

N was on Ebaum's world and I played it constantly there. looked up the website, downloaded the game, completed it twice (my first .sol was deleted :/)
found NUMA through the credit page, became obsessed with ddas by Clifty. found the forums looking for the "DDA Manifesto."

hooray.

i heard from a person at a visiting school a few years ago. "a teacher helper" or something they called it. he was playing it during lunch, i asked him what it was, he downloaded it for me, and ive played ever since. the end.
any other stories?

I played it at addicting games, stopped playing it for a long time, somehow looking for it again, I found the downloadable version, then, like 6 month after that, I figured out how to make maps.

I figured out about numa when I downloaded it.

after a year of numa, I joined.

Back when I was really little. Like in year 1, I used to watch bigger kids play the game on their laptops. I used to think they were really good, now I know they sucked. After four long years my friend brought up the game. He was always one step ahead of me, telling me a lot of new things. But then he quit, and we know him as N_625. His metanet forums username is Someone. I sucked at it and had a long long break. Then now I hav again got really hooked on and have just really got into the N spirit :)

ha. found out from a friend 2 years ago.. played it.. made maps but never knew numa excisted so...
i stopped for a time then found out about here and numa and got totally addicted...

Well i started yr 7 this year... and im in the laptop class. My Friend Gives me the very first version and im instantly hooked. I looked the game uo and found NV14 and started playing that. Then i was on userlevels and found the link which brought me to NUMA ... i signed up and started making maps. I always knew about the forums but never signed up .. and when i did the suddenly moved to the RealN so that was my new start to the forums ..

I found it on Iambored.com in late 2004. Then I downloaded it. Then I joined NUMA. Then I joined the forums.

Ditto

Found out about N+ in 360 Magazine, and decided to google it. Look what came up.

Ok so in March 2008 in my webdesign class whenever we were supposed to be working, these kids would start playing N. They showed me how to download it, and I played and sucked. Towards the end of the class, I saw a kid messing around in NED and I tried it. Soon, CHA0S_SA1NT was born. lol. Then I took a long break, lurked for a while, and came back as RadiumFalcon. Heh, been here ever since.

A friend showed it to me back in 2006, soon after which i started making levels. In early 2007 i joined NUMA and started sharing my shitty maps with everyone. Then in late 2007 i joined the forums.

Christmas 2004, I google searched lode runner, hoping for a new/os X compatible version of that, and hit upon n. Found numa by the summer, then lurked for about forever.

It was so long ago, I have to work it out by looking at the very first numa map I remember seeing submitted,

It was November 2006 for me. I saw many people playing it in the computer room at school on various occasions. However, they were always playing the SAME level. It was 24-2. I don't know why.

At the start I was really bad at it, being unable to get past 00-2, but I stuck with it...

Later, everyone else got bored on 94-4 and then moved on. Now they are playing some completely bland free online games.

I was on andkon.com searching for platforms in January 08', and in the very bottom corner, I see N. I play it on and off, but I love the game. I search for it, and find Nv1.4pc, so I download it, and play it. In march, I see that you can get more levels off of NUMA, so I lurk for about a week or two, then I make a map I really like, and join.

I really really wish I could have used the computer for something else besides school work before then tho'.

6th or 7th grade, I saw another kid playing it. He was making levels (bad ones) in the Neditor, and asked me if I wanted to try. After a glimpse at the level data box, I n00bishly responded, "I can't do that. I don't know how to code." About a year later, I finally got around to asking the kid what the name of the game was. He told me, I Googled it, etc. Heatwave was born.

Found it on a download site in late 2004.
