So you had a floppy-drive on your C64 then. I wasn't rich enough to afford such luxuries. '?LOAD ERROR' was normal for me and 'R Tape loading error 0,1' kind of became the story of my life as well.

The MUDs! I played Myrradel, Alhazi Invasion, Nodeka. Anyone else?

Connecting on 54Ks and bitching about lag in the middle of a tourney!

oh we were so excited the day we got the floppy drive. We'd gone from Vic20 to C64 to disk drive within the space of a year. All of a sudden the world was our oyster.

First time I saw someone "chatting" was in '94 at a library in my Uni. Very crude DOS-esque format

ICQ. I remembered my number up 'till recently. Met my wife there and a couple of friends from different countries, two of them I still correspond through email and FB.

IRC rooms.

Free soft Appreciation sites and local internet gossip related to the girls that "posted their pics" there.

Checking at my comp on 12/31/99 by midnight to see if it crashed with the Y2K """""""""bug""""""""".

Appreciation sites that made you "vote" for their site 3 times on top 100 lists before you could access the goods.

Hentai was all the rage

Awful "Britney Spears" Appreciation that was just her face photoshopped onto some pornstars body. (funny how the skin tones didn't even match up half the time)

Winamp

Angelfire websites

Sharing images on AIM became available

AOL chatrooms, specifically "freestyle battle" & "AzN" chatrooms

Not really internet related, but Wolfenstein 3-D

I miss playing Gunfright on my Amstrad 464.

Also proper jopysticks that were like the ones in fighter planes,a big black phallic handle with a fire button on the front of it, not the little fiddly little things used today. They used to have suckers on the bottom for sticking to the table, absolute awesomeness. Remember the screeching noise those games used to make whilst uploading from the cassette? The 80's was a great decade!
