My first MMO. Used to have about 20,000 players. I think it has about 1-2k now. Oh browser based games, how you used to entertain me so.

Anyway, that's what I think of, when I think about old school web.

I remember thinking I needed a username and password to use the internet in general, I could never find my way off of yahooligans.com!

The first thing at home I had that could access the internet was a Dreamcast XD

Dreamcast was awesome.

Downloading a single song from Napster 1.0 (when it was free and pirate) took like 15-20 minutes ;)

I actually wrote a "AOL Hacking Program" for AOL back in these days. You can still find a reference to it in google search last I saw. It was called "AOLaMe" (VB5 I think.) and I had jokeingly told someone not to put in the password wrong or it will infect your computer with a virus. Anyway searching for "AOLaMe" can still see stuff like "Don't get the password wrong or you'll be ***!" ;)

I prefer rapidshare and mirrors like that. Never been a torrent fan :/

I can't get to grips with Rapidshare at all.

I use Torrents full time lol.

I remember the fond days of CompuServe and Prodigy before anyone even knew what AOL was! It's funny to hear people talking about how they "remember 56k". I was the coolest kid on the block with my lightning fast 14.4k on my 386 with SVGA monitor!

Oh, ***. I think I've dated myself.

Ditto, but I prefer to use Megaupload or Mediafire. I swear Rapidshare is always "full for free users" and crap and hotfile makes you wait like an hour between downloads. c.c

lol, I had an 80386/25MHz with a turbo button that bumped it to a whopping 33MHz. I had a Hays SmartModem 2400 BPS external modem. I remember my 40mb hard drive had to be partitioned because DOS2.x couldn't read all 40 megs of it :D
