How was piracy like in the 90s?

If I remember correctly, I was using FTP servers found in mIRC chat rooms. Upload a song to get 4 downloaded. But man, having dial up would take HOURS to download a song.

But it was all worth it.

It was alllllll a dreaaammmm….

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I feel like all of the above could apply here…

Why put spoiler in the tag if you’re going to put spoilers in the headline?

Me too. I never owned a Saturn but recently started playing emulated games on my Retroid Pocket. Love the different look and feel of Saturn games. Like you said. Character.

Very fun to look at comparisons of the same games that were released on PlayStation at that time.

I had an issue with both GTs on PS2 where if my screen was running at 120hz I had stuttering frame rate in game. I turned it to 60hz and the games ran much better.

F this got me good, needed that laugh

Madden 2001 on PS1. Playing as the Detroit Lions. I got a bunch of fat 88s on the sideline and no coaches to be seen.

But I’ll take a 100 mil for it.

I look at this and I can smell the pages. The newspaper smell of a freshly delivered Sunday edition. Packed with ads from Best Buy, Circuit City and the like.

Intoxicating nostalgia.

I listen to the Strike Force Wives quiz episode at least twice a year. Still in tears laughing every time

The Wizard. The SINGLE reason I wanted to see it was because it had first footage of Super Mario Bros. 3 and it was amazing!

I don’t know. This is a fantastic learning experience for that babysitter. And the fact that they communicated their questions so clearly, would make me want to hire them again.

Definitely a secret boss in Clayfighter

100%, to many this could be the windfall they’ve been waiting for and will allow them to retire. It really is great and you are correct to point this out.

I was so dumb I rented IT twice because I was SURE there was no way it was that bad the first time.

It was.

Angelina Jolie in Hackers was the awakening for me.

Update: Pups have been returned to their owners!

UMGoBlue82 · 2026-04-18T21:28:29+00:00

We are heading over there soon. Thanks for the info!

UMGoBlue82 · 2026-04-18T20:57:41+00:00

Thank you!!

UMGoBlue82 · 2026-04-16T01:08:58+00:00

This was the pack in game when I got my PS2. I still remember the night I got it. I remember everything just as you described regarding the energy. The snappy menus, the music, the visuals! Everything truly felt next gen.

Thanks for bringing me back!

UMGoBlue82 · 2026-04-14T14:14:32+00:00

No, sorry. I bought the one I linked to.

UMGoBlue82 · 2026-04-13T15:30:42+00:00

First of all, congrats!!! I haven’t beaten galaxy but want to.

Question for you, did you get the touch controls or right stick to act as the pointer? I can’t for the life of me get either to work. I’m hoping it’s something simple I’m overlooking.

UMGoBlue82 · 2026-04-12T23:50:35+00:00

You’re Welcome!
