I used to troll the shit out of them when I was a pimply-faced 12 and 13 year old.

They had "sysops" there who controlled the chat and would silence people. Man, they were a bunch of assholes.

Being a dumb kid one time I started spouting death threats to one of the sysops there, and I remember a couple days later my parents were all like "Anon, what is this email from our ISP saying that someone here is violating the rules on a website?"

Me: *poker face*

The staff at the MSN Gaming Zone had contacted my ISP. I was still allowed to play there though, they didn't ban my IP address.

Ah, being a dumb kid in the 90s...

I wasn't even aware that thing had a purpose beyond Age of Empires 2.

I don't even remember Motocross Madness having an online mode, either. And I got that game along with that fucking awful Sidewinder motion controller.

Aww man, I want to hop in and play some Midtown Madness. Being a PC gamer in the 90s was love.
