>That feel when you've been on GameFAQs for two months and you're no longer limited to X posts per day and X threads per day
I was easily amused back then.

I looked up one of my old usernames on google yesterday.

Pure crushing embarrassment.

>>1203343
Fuckin' Gamefags, I used to care so much.

>>1203347
I've used the same username since I was 10. Why run away from your past, anon?

Ha ha, those rating sites and vote whoring, I still don't understand what the retarded system was supposed to do.

>>1203362
It cemented into me early on that sorting anything by votes is a terrible idea.

There were so many variations of it.

>>1203338
Haha, as a kid seeing the interrnet during the mid 90's I thought holy shit this will never take off. Hard to believe how far it's come.

>>1203338
Not to mention, the endless maze of links which never lead to the actual download, until MAYBE several clicks later.

>>1203402
Post it.

>>1203417
This thing was fucking everywhere.

>>1203423
Yep. That's what I thought. I remember a green one.

BACK IN MY DAY, WE DIDN'T HAVE TABS ON OUR BROWSER WINDOWS

>>1203429
I liked that old three-column layout much, much, much more than the one they have now.

>>1203423
Aww, we meet again. :3 Wasn't there a topless version of her as well?

>>1203338
Back when Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator were still relevant.

>>1203402
>>1203417
If memory serves, it's World from Magical Drop.

Here's the original. Any topless one would be edited, and probably not very good.

Anybody remember The Plasticman Network? mame.dk? GameCopyWorld?

>>1203445
Damn, now that you look at the forehead of >>1203423 you can actually see some of the old colors from the third eye.

>>1203445
What is that even from anyway?
Looks like something out of a japanese RPG or Puzzle game

Back in my day, Goatse, Harlequin Fetus, and Tubgirl were the worst things on the internet.

>>1203457
Basically, you fired colored orbs at orbs already at the top of the screen to connect a bunch of the same color. It's similar in concept to Puyo Puyo.

>>1203454
I remember mame.dk. It was my source for Samurai Shodown and other arcade-related stuffs, until they were hit with a cease-and-desist.

>>1203338
Remember when the internet was still free and the government wasn't trying to take over?

>mfw clownsong dot com still works

>>1203461
I remember this. Fucking LUE. Hard to imagine that something out of GameFAQs might have been what inspired 4chan and FYAD.

>>1203461
I remember seeing a gore video for the first time.
It was one of a guy getting stabbed to death.
I remember puking all over the keyboard and telling my mom it was because fly got inside my mouth or something.
good times

>>1203514
4chan's origins are much simpler. Something Awful hates anime, moot likes anime, moot makes 4chan to discuss anime, and the original board was /b/ - Anime and Random. And the rest is history.

Now, /b/ is just porn and people being edgy, but at least it still serves the purpose of desensitizing people to an extent.

>>1203523
I mean some of the concepts. Unholy trinity, the incident with the dead girl's journal, the cp content exchanged between some of GFs members, etc. Shock and raids were, in a sense, born, organized and made mainstream in the small community that was LUE.

>>1203457

>>1203540
I would have to disagree, having spent the better part of the 1990s online. Slashdot/trolltalk/kuro5hin/adequacy.org and the Anonymous Coward culture probably contributed more to 4chan's shock and raid culture.

>>1203380
>tfw LUE gets smaller and smaller each year

>>1203552
I still browse this site and am amazed at their quality articles and the fact that they still update.

I bet none of you fucks even read Seanbaby or Old Man Murray.

http://www.animetheme.com/

Talked to the host before and he's a cool dude.

I feel stupid getting nostalgic over this.

>>1203549
muh nostalgia just fired off

did anyone else use to go on the mushroom kingdom?

Oh shit.
I constantly browsed this website when I was getting into JRPGs back in the PS1 era.
Completely forgot about it until I saw this thread, and bang! It's still alive.

>>1203629
Forgot my link.
http://archive.rpgclassics.com/sitehistory/

>>1203549
>>1203618
I have the entire site archived on DVD. Ho ho ho.

>>1203625
Yep. Always.

remember when barely any video game osts were on the internet and you had to get MIDIs from VG music instead

the midis themselves give me more nostalgia than the actual official tracks, which is weird

>mfw I first discovered emulation

>>1203549

This is how I found out about hentai.

>2001
>13 years old at the time
>a whole new world of jacking off opens up to me as I realize I can see Misty and Sailor Mars nakedt

Massive nostalgia for the Microsoft Gaming Zone. It was the first community I ever joined online, back on my 11th birthday in February 1999.

>>1203660
http://www.zophar.net/music.html

I never stopped listening to MIDIs. Never will.

Man, I'll be the first one to bite. Unashamed nostalgia bullshit, but: I miss these times. Things were easier back then. And I'm already sorry for my kids who will grow up without ever getting to experience the joy of downloading a fan-translated ROM of Final Fantasy V via 56.6k modem.

This thread is making me nostalgic, but not in a good way.

Going on porn sites will make you pay and when my parents see that on the phone bill next month, I am dead.

>>1204473
I joined it to play multiplayer X-wing vs. TIE Fighter.

>Dude, I swear it's real. I saw it on the internet!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap48Yu59coA

>>1204473
I remember signing up for that site, but getting massively disappointed after I was blocked from playing due to having a pirated AOE2 disk.

That was one time I regretted being such a pirate.

>>1203614
Jay was actually a really cool dude, but only a 12 year old could enjoy those comix. Good times though, good times.

Al Gore!

>>1203629

I found out about this site when I was looking for info on Super Mario RPG and I was blown away by how the author had made a list (with pictures) of every single enemy in the game. Talk about dedication.

Those game shrines were so helpful. Way better than GameFAQs.

>>1204448

tfw I didn't want to download roms because I was afraid the cops would bust down my door.

>>1204689
Did that even ever happen to anyone?

>>1203605

I've written for that site. Hopefully there will be another upcoming article on Momoko 120%

>>1204701

I was a sheltered child

>>1204448

you cannot comprehend how i felt when i first discovered emulation.

all those snes and genesis games i never got to play as a kid were now mine.

but here's the kicker, i'm from the UK and we never got super mario rpg or chrono trigger. i remember a magazine doing huge articles on both of them and getting the most severe case of blue balls ever when i found out they weren't going to get a UK release. imagine the look on my face when, some 6 years later, i could finally play those games that were hyped to fuck by that magazine.

>>1204706
It's not like I didn't fear the same. Man though, now, after 10+ years: Did anyone really get in trouble for downloading ROMs ever back in the days?

>>1204464

discovering hentai was weird. i knew for a fact something like it had to exist, but i had no idea it was in such a large quantity and so explicit. i also had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went, fucking tentacle porn is weird shit to a 12 year old. of course that sort of stuff is tame now, but still. when you first see jiggling bare anime tits, you do get this weird feeling, like the first time you saw animated blood/gore, it's just something you've never seen before due to how animation generally is in the west (of course times have changed since then with the rise of cartoons like south park and family guy)

also i'll never forget the night i installed some hentai program or whatever the hell it was (i think it played short videos?) on the FAMILY COMPUTER and snuck on at night to try and delete it.

>>1204712

I doubt it. Video games don't have an MPAA or RIAA to go after pirates.

>>1203629
I remember its Final Fantasy 6 section all too well.

Too bad the guy didn't update his walkthrough/playthrough past the part where you went into Cyan's dreams.

I found those to be quite enjoyable. Especially the bit about "If you fail to save Cid, then commit seppuku" or something like that.

>>1204713
Same, but my first Internet enabled computer ended up not being able to run them at a decent speed and I still have yet to really play either.

http://mmxz.zophar.net/

used to browse this when X5 was a fucking NEW GAME. holy shit that is a long time ago. It also made me incredibly hyped for the mega man zero series. also the name is funny, capcom used something extremely similar for a later MM title (MMZX)

>last update nearly 10 years ago

damn.

http://planet-megaman.com/

its always sad when the 'real life' comet hits the sites you used to go on in your adolescent years

Sometimes I wonder what became of the people who went to the same forums as me as a kid. Maybe some of them are even on /vr/, I know for a fact a fair amount of people migrated from GameFAQs to 4chan.

>>1204635
>call a technical support line in my instruction manual
>it's been abandoned and reused for a phone sex line
>my parents face when that showed up on the bill

>>1204729
I still go to GameFAQs' anime board and a spinoff site

>>1204723
>Now is probably a good time to think about the future of the site as well.
Oh.. god.

>>1204723
I'm not sure if this site was one of them, but I have a really strong memory of browsing nondescript blue layout Mega Man fan sites with sprites everywhere learning about all the shit released since I played MM2 after getting into the PSX X games.

Heh, I still remember how I first found out about emulation.
>Freshman in highschool, possibility of playing console games on computer never crossed mind.
>Started following links to fan sites from Nintendo's site and click into The Mushroom Kingdom.
>Find emulation section, "HOLY SHIT!" moment ensues, keep it low key for fear of police.
>Later see kids downloading roms at school, no longer give a fuck.

Fuck you vote to download jerkwads.

Then I went to college, fucking Direct Connect hub on the network. For 4 years that was my source for everything, by the time I graduated I had the 3rd largest collection of anime shared and was 5th for overall share. Unfortunately because of the convenience (and stupid bandwidth throttleing through school's firewall) I never followed other sources and was sol when I left campus.

>>1204747

the mega man homepage was probably the biggest mega man fansite from back then. It might still be too.

http://www.mmhp.net/

>>1204464
>>1204716
Goddammit, I've been beating off to futanari and traps for almost a decade now.

>>1204553
>>1204553
I miss the old layout of Zophar's Domain, but it's interesting that VGMusic's design is still really similar to what it was in the late 90's with just a few layout changes and updates.

>mfw using edit tools from Zophar's Domain to change stuff in games
>ROM hacks distributed as patch files so you don't get busted
I felt wizardly.
also I remember when Megadrive and SNES games really needed to be zipped or rar'd because uploading/hosting/downloading 4mb was actually pretty taxing

>>1204775

I remember trying to play Star Ocean only to find out that you had to jump through a bunch of hoops just to get it to run on ZSNES.

>>1203386
Oh my god, I went there too.

Holy shit, the admins had a pole stuck up their asses, but they were hilarious. I remember one was this dudebro who was obsessed with Cloud Strife.

Not to mention the Sprite Comic forum.

Does anyone remember this place? Of course, it's still active, but the community's not as good as it used to be.

Also, any web page about old-school RPGs get me nostalgic, for some reason.

>>1203461
I remember a time before those were even a thing.

>>1203423
>>1203445
How come we don't see shit like this any more? Is it just me, or are forums getting less popular these days? People would have stuff like this in their avatars/signatures.

>>1204878
Forums are a thing of the past.

I was a big shot in the biggest German Final Fantasy community more than a decade ago (yeah ladies, you read that just right, but please contain your wetness); the community has long since fallen apart, and I left it in 2002 or so. But once a year, I get a desperate mail from the admin to rejoin the community. Apparently, there's still people sticking around. Kind of sad.

Sometimes I wonder what ever became of the people I was friends with there. I couldn't care less about random anons like you, you, you, and me, but those people had names, had distinguishable characters, had personality. Some of them were legit cool people. I hope they're doing fine ;_;

>>1204878
Writing in a forum is like sending a letter. It takes too long, everything can be done much faster today. I only visit a forum when it's a google result when I have a problem/question, but I would not consider posting in one anymore.

>>1204878
I visit a few, and of course there's SA.

>>1203502
Why is this nintendo jap so fucking creepy

Is there any thorough study of online communities and forums? I remember reading a a lot about it on TVTropes of all places but I can't find it anymore and it's not like it's a study.

So much shit happens and it changes so much. I feel disoriented.

How does it feel to know that your father worships cocks.

Also dayum, I remember writing an rpgm2k game when I was 14... fuck, that was awful.

>>1204956
>How does it feel to know that your father worships cocks.
He would turn in his grave if he knew that I was into lolicon and plushie. Still it's not a big deal compared to his drinking.

He's dead now, good riddance.

>>1203540
Can I get the backstory on these incidents?

>>1204945
>each article costs $20 per download

hue

>>1203402
OH MY GOD.
NO WAY.

>>1204960
Plushie?

>>1204967
Not him, but I was apart of the Livejournal one. It was someone's personal page who had died and the family posted a memorial post on, and being the teenagers caught in mob mentality that we were and had be given a comment section right there, you can probably guess the rest

>>1204795
Holy fuck, that site is still around? I remember searching EVERYWHERE for a rip of Shining Force CD when I was younger cause I loved the first 2 games. I come across this site, and find a hidden download he put for it in the screenshot section haha. Funny now you can just type it in google + rom/iso and be given hundreds of results.

Also introduced me to some a few games like Bahamut Lagoon and Live-A-Live.

Prodigy chat rooms before October 1999. That is all.

I can find a LOT of my old internet activity online. No big deal, as I was largely easily irritated with people, but not allcaps rage bullshit, so it's not embarrassing. Though once I had one of my recent tech questions answered by a post I had made YEARS ago. Crazy.

I made the HOMEPAGE OF THE OLDTERNET. I should update it, but nobody else has webspace, and thus, cannot make their own oldternet pages so I can link to them. Feh.

>>1205053
Search for likely filenames or filename fragments, "index of", "last modified", "parent directory", and subtract shit like "free" and "cool" and other BS. You'll find shitloads of ROMs, MP3s, and other nice stuff sitting in abandoned college directories. Just remember that old DOS filename requirements are 8.3, and if it's a truncated name, it would be like Shinin~1.zip or something.

First place I ever got my roms was http://vimm.net/ and it still exists to my surprise.

Then I went to romhustler but their layout is super shit now so I avoid it like the plague.

Coolrom all day.

>>1205501
I used to get ROMS from Vimm and Nerologic when I was in high school, but both sites stopped hosting them a while back.

http://mmxz.zophar.net/rpg/

Still my favorite site to go to for those specific SNES games.

>>1204716

I remember the first thing i saw of cartoon hentai was a super old picture of Bulma's boobs from DB. I got pretty upset I think because I didn't understand these new powerful emotions. But yeah, now I have gigs of stuff and frequent /d/. Thank you internet.

>>1204716
I remember the first time I saw anything hentai.
>at friend's house in middle school
>watching flash videos before YouTube was a thing
>hey anon let's watch this one next
>what's hen-tay?
>I dunno, sounds like the name of an anime
>click
>OH DEAR LAWDY
>CLOSE IT QUICK SO DISGUSTING
So there I was thinking "hentai" was a single anime series I could never find episodes to for like four years.

>>1204795
Wait, when did the fucking layout change?
I was just there a few months back and the layout was still the same as it had ever been. Or, at least, I think it was a few months back?

>>1203461
Actually, they still are.

Also, 2006 is, like, ysterday. It's far from "back in the day".

My favorite NES site. Dunno where he is now, but he lived a few hours away from me.

Love that it's still up, though. With webhosts shutting down and other guys moving on to other areas of life, it's good to know these sites I frequently visit are still going. I'd love for him to throw an update here or there, though.

le the game face

I used to post on a site with all types of zelda fanfic shit. I don't know why, but I never posted any fanfic because shame and I never left.

Don't remember the name of it, but it really got heavy on the fanfic after Ocarina of Time dropped. Mostly Saria stuff.

>>1205035
Exactly what you think it is, stuffed animals. It's a subset of furry and even among furries it's one of the stranger kinks.

Off the top of my head, some of the top sites were Hyrule: The Land of Zelda, Ganon's Tower, and The Grand Adventures.

Speaking of The Grand Adventures, anyone remember Nintendoland? That site was awesome. I think it's technically still around, but it's a completely different site now.

>>1204702
I'm waiting for articles on La-Mulana, Grisaia no Kajitsu, Phantasy Star, and so many dead series.

La Mulana was one game and it doesn't even need a sequel. You complete that, you'll feel satisfied about it.

Oh Newgrounds. The hentai you showed me...

I remember when PMH changed his name to "Zone". It's been, fuck, like 14 years ago.

I remembered "baddassbuddy.com" the other day and suprisingly it's still up

I know Deus Ex is an old game, but seeing him on such an old thread when I've been seeing tons of pictures of him, like related, all the time on /v/... that's a pretty fucking surreal feel.

Anyone ever go on Pojo back in the day? I was really into Pokemon and MTG so I went there a lot. That was like the first message board I have was a serious member of too.

Also, I remember that glorious month or so at school when kids discovered Newgrounds and we fucked around on it before it got blocked. Plus the school had T1 so it was no shit. Loading flash vids and games on dial-up was painful.

>>1204473
Yooo, that was my shit. Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 motherfuckers. massassi.net, anyone?

>>1206592
you know that's not a real screenshot, right

>>1206630
I wouldn't know, that could've been the original format of the site for all I know.

>>1206650
The original format of the site is exactly what you see here, just with Burichan as the default style and no fancy add-on or catalog doodads.

>>1206662
I figured as much. I guess this format has held up quite well, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it was a style from the early 2000s.

>>1206676
That's more of a mid nineties style, because even in the late nineties, nobody used plain gray backgrounds. Shit was all about frames and repeating patterns, yo.

>>1204776
Heh. I remember when you had to have a separate folder and whatnot just to get the unfinished translation patch going, or something like that.

I also remember juggling two different IPSs in order to play Seisen no Keifu properly.

Any of you guys remmeber a website called Daria's RPG Classics? That's how I discovered most of the SNES classics I now cherish, like SD3, ToP and all. Sometimes I still wonder what happened to that website.

>>1205904
>even among furries it's one of the stranger kinks
I tried to comprehend this and to imagine furries looking down on plushies in disdain as too kinky and screwed. Then I passed out from laughing and woke up hours later just to post this.

>>1206183
The hell it's barely changed.
The site has gone at least six redesigns I can remember.

>>1207228
First one was still the best, your antivirus would detect 298 threats on the homepage and you would get bombarded with ads and pop ups.
I remember downloads being capped at 30kbps or something.

I remember that me and my cousin have spent a few hours downloading a game called Undress Britney Spears from some shady site. We were so disappointed when we opened it up and all we got was a screamer. I hated screamers when I was a kid, there was time when almost every "funny" Flash animation had one.

>>1207605
I can't even remember the last time I saw a screamer, damn.

Wonder when they'll make a comeback and scare the shit out of millennial kids.

Anyone remember FuckZombie from back in the mid-90's?

Just went to go check and it looks like after close to 20 years, the First Church of the Easily Amused has finally shut its doors. Goodbye to Pastor Carmen.

I used a similar site run by someone who wrote FAQs on GameFAQs. It was Tikal something, iunno, but I downloaded so many great rpgs from that site.

>>1208026
It was before people ran in and started talking about their first fap or dead body online.

Come on, guys, bring it back to video games. Don't be /v/.

Damn I actually had my own rom site when I was 13. Wrote the whole thing in notepad lol.

I remember all those stupid rom top lists and web rings and stuff.

Too bad I was 2dum2make money off of it, it was pulling 50,000 hits a day at its peak.

I don't even remember the name though.

>>1204887
>Forums are a thing of the past.
I wouldn't go that far, it's just certain forums can't really last any longer due to lack of interest.

I'm a member of a few forums that are still thriving and active all these years later, but I myself have lost interest because they've attracted too many people I just don't like.

Who here remembers... PlayFKiss?

Basically it was a special format for virtual paper dolls, called KiSS. Each file was like its own self-contained playset containing a doll with lots of clothes and props.

I used to have a ton of these. Like, hundreds that probably can't even be found anymore. R.I.P. old hard drives and floppy disks.

Plasticman's is where I discovered ROMS, Anime and Hentai. It was the one stop shop to Teenage degeneracy :_;7

(Also Plasticman was a cool dude who was regularly on his forums. I think he died years ago of cancer and that took the site down)

>>1210409
I know that website still has pretty much every KiSS doll ever made, but you have to pay for membership. Back in the day I got all my KiSS dolls directly from the creators' websites.

It's nice to know OtakuWorld still exists, though. And it even still has that endearingly gaudy 90's webpage design.

Oh and who here has heard of The Palace? Around 2002-ish, that was a program I instantly fell in love with. It was like KiSS, but with other people!

>>1203523
>Something Awful hates anime

Something Awful likes anime. One Piece is really popular among goons. They just hate anything that's "moe". Although they seem to love Azumanga Daioh.

Basically they have extremely narrow and arbitrary tastes, and will ban you for not conforming to them.

>>1205034
I remember one time 4chan hacked some girl's Livejournal and replaced her picture with a random porn image, and all the info with sex-related stuff.

>Name: Slutty Girl
>Favorite films: Pornos
>Favorite music: Porn soundtracks
>Person I'd like to meet: Paris Hilton, what a slut ;)
>Favorite activities: Gangbangs
>etc. etc. you get the idea

Typical juvenile internet vandalism, right? But the funny part was, NONE of her friends or family thought it was a hack. The comment section was like:

>When we hung out, I never would have guessed that's what you're like... hm, well, it's your life, but you might regret it someday, just sayin'
>OMG is that you in the pic? D: EWWWWW
>wtf Christine, how is this creative?
>I'm very disappointed in you. Your father is pissed!
>Oh wow, did you really post that? I think your page has been hacked... just wanting to make sure.

I actually feel really bad for her. Even if she managed to set the record straight, telling them it's not her in the picture and it's her page being hacked, they must have zero respect for her to even THINK it was real.

>>1210676
SA now is quite different from SA then, now their forums seem to have turned into a political warzone.

>>1210663
I remember The Palace. That shit was fun!

This site here, though... To this day, I still talk to some of the people I met there on a daily basis. It was that community that led me to the love of my life.

Remember when Chewbacca ate my balls?

Or when Mister T fought Ronald Reagan?

>>1210663

welcome :>

I remember in like 1997 I went to a friend's house and used his CD-R burner to copy all his stuff so I could have it. It took once CD to copy just about all of his games. Just one. I passed it around my school. One of my lady friends got back to me and informed me there was a video of a lady showing off her anus. That was great.

>>1210979
>CD-R Drive in 1997
Damn, those things expensive back then.

>>1210676
Comedic slice of life is the only time moe is acceptable.

Isn't Something Awful just a collection of various kinds of freaks at this point, since they've banned all the cis-gendered normals by now?

>>1211054
Basically, yes. They let the social justice warriors in, gave trannies free reign to whine about their triggers, turn it into a hugbox, and claim that they are persecuted in an era where equal rights are commonplace, and some places have laws barring any form of discrimination or even slurs.

>>1211060
To be fair, it's a brilliant idea when you consider that they make you pay 10$ per ban if you want to continue posting and that the SJW crowd tends to be willing to pay those ten dollars.

>>1204635
Fuck me, I thought I was the only one! I spent $150 on one of those fucking things and paying that back as a 13 year old is hard as shit.

>>1206183
It's changed an awful lot from when I first browsed it.

Anybody remember a ROM site called Cult of Kefka? Had all the good ROMs, really early on too. Probably would've taken me a lot longer playing through shitty games to find the good ones if not for Kefka's complete lack of shitty games.

>Remember the first time I found out about fanfiction
>Friend calls me and tells me all about it

>"I fell off my bed, hit my head, and thought about searching for it"
>Go to his house, drink soda, and read fanfics all day
Those were simpler times. Not better, but simpler. He also showed me Misty hentai, and that was my first hentai pic.

>>1203359
That just made my day.

yeah, remember when the internet wasn't corporate owned?

>>1203454
I remember all of those. Also Zophar's Domain, emux.com (the first site where I downloaded emulators and roms), and the comic strips from overclocked.org (which are still online despite the site not being updated since 2001).

I also fondly remember some site dedicated to Neo Geo and CPS 1/2 roms and emulators, that closed down after receiving a cease and desist. But I can't remember it's name.

Non-emulated related I remember the Stile Project, back when it was a blog with gore, scat, shock news and conspiracy theories. Now it's just a porn site.

>>1211184
Haha, Misty from Pokemon was also the first hentai and rule 34 pic I saw. Back when I didn't even knew what these meant.

I fapped so much from pokemon hentai that night I got an urinary infection. Good times.

>>1212178

>>1211054

Who knows. Its infested with SJW but Lowtax turned GBS into a Safe For Work FYAD for some reason and the theory is that they are either getting rid of some of the real bad SJW posters or it's a honeytrap to get most of the shitposters out in a massive Blood Purge/Shark Week/Red Hammer week.

I remember the first time I started browsing ogrish way back when.

It was my first exposure to real gore, I don't remember feeling much of anything. Then I showed it to my dad and we started browsing ogrish and rotten.com together and laugh at the dead people and eat dinner and shit while we were doing it.

Wow now that I typed that up, that was probably pretty fucked up. I was only about 12.

GameTalk forums....I was on that shit was back in 04.

Goddamn it, I miss that place.

>>1208720

Agreed. Things like car forums are and will forever go strong.

>>1210380
I remember these. My sister had a billion of these on a ZIP disk, and I'd take their clothes off when she wasn't around. IIRC most of them wouldn't let you take their underwear off, and the girls would make a shocked face if you tried, which I thought was funny at the time.

She also had a lot of crappy MIDI renditions of Final Fantasy music.

>>1213725
Yeah. They seem to have a halflife of about five years.

>>1213773
> IIRC most of them wouldn't let you take their underwear off, and the girls would make a shocked face if you tried, which I thought was funny at the time.

If you had an editor, you could. And sometimes, they would even have over 20 pounds of fully drawn tits and pussy

>>1213725

I have three Zip disks, but alas, my only working Zip drive is in the PowerMac G4 I bought at a rummage sale for $10. Fucking thing chugs on playing Youtube videos, and not even fullscreen.

>>1213773

Actually, a lot of them did. There was a parental lock you had to disable in the options, though.

>>1213725
>>1213779
Floppy disks will last a long time if you store them right. I have Amiga 500/2000 disks that are nearly 20 years old and they still work. Just be sure to keep backups of everything.

>>1213850
My grandpa built computers in the 1980s, and his old massive floppies (the kind that are actually floppy) still work.

That said, sometimes it's just luck. My Pokemon Red gave out in 2003 from a faulty battery and I have some hard floppies that don't work.

Also, does anyone remember character shrines?

>>1204718

I used to read that walkthrough just because I found his comments to be funny.

>>1204689

I saw someone on Reddit last year asking if that would happen to him if he downloaded ROMs.

>>1204464

I found it through a DBZ website. I was going through the gallery and saw one section labeled "XXX". I remembered seeing that as a signature in love letters in old cartoons and thought it was a kissing gallery or something. My life was forever changed that day.

>>1204716

>when you first see jiggling bare anime tits, you do get this weird feeling,

I remember that feeling. I remember the feeling I got because I saw a shitty picture of Lunch spreading her legs. Now I can just scroll past that stuff without even properly registering it. I'm kind of sad now.

>>1204723

You used that site too? I used to go there all the time. I still check up on it now and then to see if it's still there.

On a similar topic, the Mega Man Home Page is still regularly updated.

>>1204878

Yeah, I miss forums, I used to go to a shitload (including darkness forums[/spoiler). Now I only really go to specific forums when I need technical help.

Webrings are still around, oddly enough. It's always interesting to find an old-school website on the web, especially one that's still updated.

>>1213773
Our first windows PC had a INTERNAL Zip100 drive. That thing still works, too! I even salvaged an internal Zip250 recently, I have no idea if it works yet.

First thing I ever downloaded, from ANIME.COM no less.

You guys remember this?

>>1217763
There was a thread about it a few months ago, but I never played it.

I figure this would be the best place to ask. Does anyone remember a game where it was a game you signed up for and the whole thing was done in a browser. It let you pick your character and army type I believe, I definitely remember vampires being a thing but not much else. Anyways you were allotted so many resources and actions per day depending on a few factors but it also tried to rip you off by paying for more resources with credit card. I remember I sucked at it because anyone "good" was putting money into it. It was called like "Armageddon" or something like that but I could be wrong. I think there have been many games like it but if anyone has any inkling what I'm talking about I'd love to know what it was I played. Oh and just to give you a time frame it must have been around 2003 or 2004.

I come from /d/ and I can answer this question.

MY FIRST ROM

>>1219214
My first ROM was Excitebike, I think...

>>1219214
What kind of game was it? Adventure? Rpg? I know it was heavy text-based and unfortunately only translated. I'm a big fan of the anime you see.

>>1219214
>>1221529

Mine was River City Ransom because I hadn't played it in years.

And it was on Nesticle, of all emulators. I didn't realize the icon was a ballsack until it was on my parent's desktop for months. Guess they never noticed either, because I didn't hear anything about it from them.

>>1218197

I have so many stupid memories of drama and bullshit that went down in yahoo chat rooms.

It's where I met my first internet girlfriend

They did confirm a sequel though apparently

There had to be a handful of hentai games on newgrounds. But this right here stuck out the most. I remember pirating it from Kazaa.

Warez/Emulation was a different way of life back then. Being an uploader was a never ending adventure, and I really miss it sometimes.

Anyone else remember the old CherryRoms site?

Or Emulation Station?

Those sites were the fucking shit

>>1226517
Happypuppy had some solid reviews back in the day. Then they just up and died. They came back for a very short while and immediately died again. What happened with this site? Was there some backroom drama that never got widely published?

>>1226553
No idea. I used to get FAQs there and codes before GameFAQs existed.

>>1226513
There was one but I forgot the name of it. It was SNES something and had this list of stuff the website creator hated.

>>1226513
Yeah, I remember CherryRoms too. So great, because I never had those systems.

>>1226553
Happy puppy was run by the people who brought us such magic as the "My kokoro wish" comic.

Well they just happened to make the site in the middle of the internet bubble, and then they sold it to some company, who then ran it for a few years before the bubble burst and everything went to shit, and they had no way of properly marketing the site, so it went away.

>>1203423
That's from Magical Drop 3. The character is The World but she has her third eye removed in this.

>>1226513
Yep, Emulation Station was where I first started playing SNES games on my parents' work computers. Thanks for the unsupervised internet access, Dad!

I remember an awful fanfiction site called "Battle of the Videogame Heroes." It was, of course, fucking awful, and had a highly elite bunch of folks who wouldn't let just any key contribute, which pissed 9 year old me right the fuck off.

A few years ago I tracked down some of the folks; two of them got married (to each other!), one guy is like an IT guy at some shitty company. Most of them didn't even remember me but whatever. I'm glad their lives worked out.

I had character shrines for anime characters but nothing strictly VG-related.

Dude, I remember frequenting a Disney 34 site way back, and the guy who ran it was edgy as all fuck. I think he was called DoomDark or something. Each page for each character had its own flavor text for their gallery. He eventually got C&D'd and only the edgy rant pages remained, focusing more about his gripes against Disney.

That was some kid-boner nostalgia thinking about it.

I saved all that I found and put them together in a 3D animator. Faps were had. And this banner along with some of Newgrounds' adult flashes had me fapping until morning. Add that with me discovering emulation and Earthbound and 2005 was the year for me.

FUCK YEAH
KID MOTHERFUCKING RADD

http://kidradd.muddasheep.com/kidradd_guillaume/index.htm
(this updated version of the site is missing the third to last chapter, which was a nifty little bonus collection of fanart and fan music and shit)

If you have the offline archived version, you can have all the sprites from Kid Radd on your comp

Kid Radd was so fucking awesome. As the series went on and the action sequences got better, it got to a level that nowadays reminds me of Super Mario Bros. Z.

MEMORIES OUT THE ASS FUCK

http://www.odysseyofhyrule.com/zwow.htm

Remember when that fake grill gamer tricked everyone with that fucking stupid triforce rumor? Remember Zelda's Secret MOTHERFUCKING Ocarina? That site spooked the shit out of me. Here's an archive.

I think I'mma dump some images from ZSO on /v/ in a bit.

Mobiles Disco, Habbo Hotel, and Newgrounds
They were the best of times, and the worst of times.

You know I always felt WebTV was before it's time.

Looks like w/ stuff like Roku I was right.

>Newgrounds
Fuck yeah, I loved the Assassin series, Club a Seal, and Pico's School.

>>1229408
Oh, the glory of Newgrounds.

Do people still animate there? The site can't just be dead

>>1232137
Yep, it's still populated by animators, and hentai. I still use Newgrounds, because of the tight-knit community.

There's always that one guy though, isn't there? That guy who'll show up in a thread and shit all over it like "FUCK YOU I'm older muh nostalgia BETTER"

>>1234765
I guess so.

On the other hand, in 20 years when the current generation is nostalgic, I don't know if i could hold myself back from the same thing.
