Fucking Netscape... gives my flashbacks of my old schools shitty computers.

....Sitting 6 hours in front of Napster, downloading a single small mp3, cause you're so super happy and wanna test your new high speed 56k connection.

Where did you get your porn from in that dark and slow age of the internetz?

I remember a time without g fur and traps.

Good ol' nutscrape navigator

You waited forever for one jpeg to download then printed it out... or you just beat off to soft-core on Skinemax... or you got lucky and somehow obtained a Playboy/Hustler/Penthouse.

>ascii porn
lel (forgot about that)

When I first started, you had to look IPs up in a phone book b/c there were no search engines.

or this

>Sudoku
Pretty sure you mean seppuku

summer's here lads

Lurk moar

why do you have so much vhs gay porn?

Back then it was no problem at all to wait 2h for your porn pic to download.
Meant you had 2h to continue with the 3D Pinball!!

Scantly possible

I wish that was my pic but i used google search :(

I used to love this game

Quake 2 is the best. I'm DougHuggem and I play at least once a week on the tastyspleen DM server.

I just remember a bunch of conspiracy/ufo webpages. And yahoo was a thing (didn't have AOL)

>using shitty windows 95 based on macOS to play pinball
>not using superior win 3.11 for workgroups to play pic related

It wasn't all rosy, no tabs, no structure, yahoo searching, pop up windows that created a new window when you closed it, autoplaying sounds, banner ads that had sounds, "SAY SOMETHIN!", etc

>playing SkiFree instead of Chip's Challenge
kys pleb

Seemed like everyone used AOL. I got one of their free trial disks in the mail about once a month.

Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, Bearshare...

wasted so many hours downloading music on dial-up

Downloading illegal stuff was easy 'cause no body had the bandwidth/tech/time to monitor what you're doing.

...

...

I remember when they started sending 3.5 floppies everywhere. Had I saved them all, I probably could have built a 3 story house of the damn things.

>Kazaa
>wasted so many hours downloading music on dial-up
me too

>Playing Chip's Challenge instead of Duke Nukem.

Kill your family and then jump off a bridge with a tazer on your dick.

You're kidding right. When everything was done through terminal sessions, you could literally mirror someones entire session to a line printer, then laugh at them when they got a shell on a UNIX box and typed "dir c:"

it was better than late 80s experience.
C64 with a 1200 baud modem calling into your favorite bbs to download whatever you could find and play door games, maybe start a flame war in some group you didn't pay much attention to otherwise.
on second thought, scratch that. html ruined everything.

>that face when it's 2004, you're on dial-up, and the page you clicked on is filled with flash ads

Duke Nukem didn't come with Windows.

URLs could be straight typed-in from the beginning ... well, for those lucky few who had a browser. Otherwise, you dialled-up the nearest boards and they had all their mates ringed so you could access their boards without having to dial them.

Before the internet, there was a directory of email addresses when it was still the ARPAnet, but "yellow pages" internet books were for noobs who couldn't internet. You just started exploring from your base and worked outward from everyone else's links.

Good times. Good times.

Best one.

I remember seriously contemplating swiping my parents's credit cards for this once. Luckily, a virus soon fucked up my cpu so that was the end of that.

Awww yeah!

Wait a minute. LogJammin is a real porno? The one from the big Lebowski?

Wow, are you me?

>You waited forever for one jpeg to download then printed it out... or you just beat off to soft-core on Skinemax... or you got lucky and somehow obtained a Playboy/Hustler/Penthouse.
I once printed out a couple images of anal porn I had obtained. Folded them neatly and put them in my pocket for jacking off purposes. After laundry realized the images had disappeared. Pretty sure my dad checked my pockets before washing pants and decided I was an outrageous faggot.
>he grew up in rural Maine in the 50s in a town of 300 people, where anything anal=gay

Fuck many girls in the butt to this day, no regrets.

also depicts modern australian internet

oh shit. nice hawk eyes user

Threeeeeps!

the internet was so fucking good from 94-2000.

everything was new and amazing so people were stoked to do anything, but also operating systems were actually good by 94.
chat rooms were a big fucking deal.
BBS and IRC was a big fucking deal.
download managers were a big deal.

i got everything from IRC. i remember AOL users were auto blacklisted from IRC.
warez sites were really popular too because everyone was trying to keylog, phish, hack and fusker everything.

Anyone else remember when yahoo and ask ruled the roost?

i havent even thought about askjeeves in 20 years... infoseek ... webcrawler ... lycos ... dogpile. Fuck I remember using Archie on a 1200 baud but that's not 90's . Shit is ancient history now.

Used ask Jeeves all through elementary school (parents were on tech, mom loved Napster). Hear about sweet new search engine “google”. Now it’s all grown up and spying on me

Please leave.

Bullshit. This was a list of available websites not an IP lookup. Fuck off.

VHS was the only way for him to get his gay porn.

lol, internet was invented in 1983, anyone born on or after 1982 is a millennial, you fucking retard.

Nobody has mentioned webrings... remember those?

yo

basically this.

RIP Shadowrun Webring

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

The internet wasn't bursting with freedom, if anything it was at such a low point that it was hard for anyone to even care about internet freedom.

>When tripod sites

You mean when companies started sticking their greedy asses into the internet? "Hey, your own personal web page you just have to sponsor our ads a bit on your site" etc. not excactly that much different these days

Y'all get on my level

Welcome!

I can't possibly be the only one who remembers Barney Ate My Balls

you're right that it was more restricted, but that made people care more. the internet was weirder, and finding stuff was an adventure. there was a guestbook for a sockmonkey with an ongoing travel blog (before blog was a word) where people would post their own ongoings. there was a geocities page where some nutcase tried to make all conspiracies and religions fit into a coherent unifying theory using jpegs of disney characters.

there was acid-inspired glass pane art. just a random page out there with 71 trippy windows and nothing else.

and the weird porn was that much weirder for the context. it wasn't collected on a site. it was one couple and the family dog, hosting their own site to show you things not meant to be seen.

Always used to read these websites all day on stuff like:

>DBZ
>Sailor Moon
>Gundam Wing
>Chrono Trigger
>Final Fantasy 7
>Secret of Mana

< This badboy right here. It showed you were on the "Dark" side of the internet. Usually it was used as the header and footer for webpages about Goth or Heavy Metal.

Should we have Sup Forums framed with this?

please, link me to ascii porn

I quit a few years ago but man. In it's Hay day this was great.

...

Oh this game... man

Omfg the ski yeti game, there was like deer and wolves too weren't there?

There was something called video stores. They used rent or sell something called video tapes.

...

bullshit. That's never real!

Less we forget jennicam the original web whore! Who remembers her? I was lucky to work at an ISP that had a whopping two T-1 lines!

shitty realplayer streams

Hell yes. My parents used to play this before I even did.

LFM Raid on the modern internet 25/40 Need a fucking TANK already.

when was the first moment, that normies appeared on the internet, which made oldfags rage and cringe?

I actually learned to build websites thank to Netscape.
