The term "Owned" was originally conjured circa 1986 by a small Canadian Apple II user's group in Langley, BC. Primary usage was similar to current internet vernacular, but was usually restricted to computer hardware and not gaming.

Use was slightly adapted to indicate superiority over another person. Or to declare that said person is merely chattel.

Man, the Apple so owns(owned) the C64!

I *own* people like you!

"Owned, resulting back in the Ultima Online days is a word depicing victory over another person or thing. Being passed up into the new generation of games and even in real conversations the word has come a long way since it was started by us old UO boys"


That is wrong, "owned" was being used back in the Wolf3d days, back in the ORIGINAL quake and duke3d games, back in the days of the TEXT version of aol, back in the compuserve and prodigy days. its not a new term, and it is AT LEAST 10 years old... Check ya calenders.
