WTF did y'all do? Don't get me wrong, I experienced life before the internet practically became a utility, but it just seems weird living in a world where the internet wasn't a major tool you used every single day.

AIM shutting down in December is messing with me. I haven’t used it on over a decade, but getting on AIM & MSN Messenger was my life as a yound lad from like 2000-2004.

I can barely remember life before the internet and cell phones tbh. I do remember my parents getting the big ass Mapsco every year. Crazy how ancient that has become in less than 20 years.

My first PC was a 20mhz 386SX from Austin computers. Didn't even have a math coprocessor. Had 2 meg of memory in 8 sticks and a 40meg HDD. I couldn't load Windows so i ran Digital Research DOS (DR DOS) that took 8 floppy disks to load. There was only news groups and some BBS activity similar to these forums. You'd almost need to know the string to type in to get the modem to work before V.90 took over. 300 baud. There was no world wide web, no GUI that I was aware of. AOL was the going thing, but too expensive. Netscape was up and coming, and soon the concept of "if you have a business you need a .com address" was being laughed at by people who fell behind the curve. I registered a few names and sold them later (I would make a fortune with them today) to folks who started businesses and needed those names.

To play a game you had to get into the config.sys file and set your memory up to allow sound to work. Oddly the same soundblaster then seems to be around now.

But most of the time I was on a lake fishing in a tournament somewhere or in a treestand with a bow.

Kids played outside. People had to look shit up in books at these places called libraries before there was Wikipedia. Boys had to jerk off to their dad's Playboy, or (gasp) use their imagination. And before cell phones... teenagers had some measure of autonomy without their parents GPSing their location and calling them every ten minutes. People actually had to meet in person and speak without the use of text or social media to get to know one another.

Man, the 64 was the greatest party system. Multiplayer in your home is the greatest feeling gaming can give. I think lack of local multiplayer on 99% of games is the biggest factor to my disinterest in gaming that isn't "I don't have time anymore". Fuck online multiplayer.

And if you didn't break remotes or get in fist fights, you never owned a 64.

Agreed with all you said.

The 64 had great single player games as well. Mario 64 might be the greatest video game ever developed (If it isn't in your top 10....then your top 10 isn't legit). Zelda (OoT) was epic also.

But, the ability for all 4 ppl to play at the same time was over the top. You're exactly right though. The salt was fucking real. There was always one player who was better than everybody else combined.

LMAO. When we got our 64, less than an hour later, we were at BB digging thru their bin as they were the only place open and it was the 64 that came with no pack in game or a second remote. Absolutely refused the God awful MadKatz alternative. Bad to wait a day later to get a legit 2nd remote.

I could always settle for a MadKatz on any of my other systems, and even preferred their version of the PS1before Sony had analog sticks, the buttons were more loose.

Either way, the 64 fucking rocked. I really, really want Nintendo to make a 64 classic. I just don't want to pay a few c notes for it and emulation doesn't gimme the fix I want and the classic reseller market is too high for something I will binge on for a weekend and then only periodically.

life without internet was mostly PlayStation 1 and outdoor soccer...I used to get so mad if my parent's wouldn't allow me to go outside to play soccer..Like what am I suppose to do? :rollin

General observation with families..

Weekend get together with other families and outdoor activities was much more common. The same families that we're still close with today, we maybe see them once every two months for barbecue..

I recall families was really big into "going out"..I'm sure for the most part, families still do enjoy outdoor activities etc...but maybe less now with internet.

When I was a kid we rode bikes all over the city or played Atari. I also spent a lot of time in arcades running through quarters. That was also back when MTV was almost all music videos. I got my start on rap and hip hop watching Yo MTV Raps or Rap City on BET. When I got to high school it was Street Fighter tournaments on SNES or someone paging you with a code so you could meet somewhere and smoke weed. Played a lot of dominoes too. I didn't really start spending a lot of time online until after I got married in '02. Those old ESPN boards and NBAWire. FkLA remembers those NBAWire days. That was a fun board for a couple years until it crashed and lost all the old posts.

You could probably emulate the N64 well on a low end PC. I used to play Conker's Bad Fur Day on Project64 using a crappy Athlon 64x2 7-10 years ago and it ran great, and that's supposed to be one of the hardest to run N64 games. I didn't even bother with it on my Raspberry Pi. I imagine a $65 Pentium G4560 on a $50 B250 board would be able to run N64 games at their full framerates. But I haven't tested it myself in a few years since I'm not much of a fan of the N64/PS1 generation. But if the Athlon 64x2 from 2006 could do it.

Oh, P64 runs fine on my PC, and ran fine on an old Dell Optiplex I gutted for emulation, but using the usb control pad that isn't an N64 one makes it different, as well as sitting in front of a PC monitor as one of my biggest OCD's is moving/reconfiguring wires/hdmis etc. into my TVs. I'm weird like that.

absolutely. And listening to the whole thing and discovering some great songs that didn't make it to the radio.

I think even CD's hurt that to a degree. Made it too easy to skip ahead if a song didn't grab you in the first couple of seconds.

This discussion brings up a good question, what do teenagers even do anymore? Arcades are gone. Malls are pretty much trash. Kids don't seem as into live music/playing instruments anymore (used to always go to jam nights at different bars and clubs). What am I missing? And technology makes it harder for teenagers to have any type of freedom or privacy, schools and parents pretty much know where the kid is at all times. And maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like kids aren't driving as early as they did when I was young (had a car, a full time job, and was rarely at home by my 16th b-day).

Then you get there and wait for 10min, 20min, 30min, 1 hr. Never shows up. Just drive back home and wonder what happened. Maybe you talk in a few days and find out.

Now...

"Hey meet me here at...."

Text the address. If you can't make it, you text you can't make it. You never even leave your house.

We had neighborhood boxing matches too. The gloves were 16 oz so no one got hurt but man I used to come home with one hell of a headache. We did this as well. One match I got elbowed in the head and ended up with a concussion. Was fun up until one time some friend of an actual friend of ours got too riled up and attempted to actually fight one of us because he got worked.

Though, one time I got invited to a house party and actually forgot I had made a movie date. The chick ended up at the party. We actually laughed it off and kicked it at the party and for about a year. But now, like you said, it isn't hard to cancel and to make plans with a quick push of send.

Also, if the directions weren't on point, you could drive and for an hour just trying to find a place hoping the other person doesn't take off before you get there. Now..."just text me the address".

Even more so, you can drop a pin to exact your location. It's even more succinct with accuracy then the text me deal.

Apparently they live stream their shitty day to day lives, listen to "gangstas" who dress like gay pirates rap, and yearn for the next big meme or slang fad
:rollin
So fucking spot on, especially about the gay pirates 'rapping".

I loved that game. I created a printout of the moves and tactics that one should use for MKII. Went to Kinko's and made copies and sold them for like $1 at the local horse track. I was far from rich. But I made enough to get some dinner or arcade game financing.

Me and my bro would play mkii on the snes. We knew every single move for every single character including fatalities, stage fatalities, babalities, friendships.

That was the first time I truly felt like i was playing an actual arcade version of a game in my living room.

I think the SNES one had a glitch at least initially where you could do a Friendship into an Animality and I'd troll my friends because they were terrible in fighting games. Good stuff.

Played Snes and Sega Genesis in elementary and middle school. Then played N64 and PS in Highschool. Back during those days you had friends come over to your place to play games that they didn't have and vice versa. I would play a lot of basketball outside against people in my neighborhood. I would buy a bunch of magazines that dealt with sports, video games, porn, etc. Back then TV had a lot of good stuff that could keep you entertained when it came to cartoons, sitcoms, etc. All in all it was hard to be bored all day.

now its all no t alent hacks on tv with their own reality shows...dumbing down the population, and these tv networks are crying why their revenue is decreasing from advertisements and shit, that's cause viewers had tune out of watching tv due to the shit content...

same childhood as you, had all those systems, either at the bball courts after school till late at night...or riding a bike do someshit...was more aware of surroundings and shit, u learn ur street smarts by hanging out at the parks and shit...
