But that was a time when sub 100ms latency for networked gaming had never really been experienced. If you never played faster you wouldn't notice it when it's slower, I'd think.

The word "networked" is instead used to distinguish from "non-networked" gaming, which involves playing on a single PC. This could be either a single-player game like the Starcraft campaign, a turn-based hotseat game like Civilization hotseat, or a simultaneous shared-keyboard game like Achtung, die Kurve!
