What is ICQ ?
ICQ, or “I Seek You”, is a free instant messenger program that lets you chat with your friends and family members easily. You can download ICQ here. You will be assigned a unique ICQ number when you register. ICQ alerts you when other players (on your contact list) are online. You can use it to send instant messages to multiple recipients and setting up a multiplayer game is much easier this way than by email. If you don’t have ICQ, I strongly recommend you to get one.

In this era people would connect in to one central computer, running an operating system such as UNIX, to do work, post messages, or socialize. Instant messaging services on these old systems would sometimes communicate directly between two people, and sometimes would use a central server.
