I still remember the very first time I tried Team Fortress Classic's VIP mode, which was also called The Hunted. I spawned into my first match and saw that instead of a gun I was holding an umbrella. I was the VIP! Hell, yes! But also: Oh, no!
In TFC VIP, one player was the 10th class, the Civilian (because VIP and The Hunted weren't enough names for him, I guess), a guy in a business suit with no guns, and everyone else on the team had to protect him while the other team, composed entirely of snipers, tried to kill him. It was a wildly fun mode about traveling through a map from one safe zone to another while relying on teamwork the whole way, which meant it was a mix of thrills, close calls, and complete disasters. I loved VIP: it had an entirely different feel from standard deathmatch or CTF.
