Back then, the idea of an MMORPG was mind-blowing. To see how much the genre has evolved since the early days is pretty incredible.

I spent years of my life between 8th grade and college on this game. There’s really nothing like it anymore.

Dino Crisis. That's a name we haven't heard in decades (and that's for the better, this game was terrible)

I'm so dino crisis pilled. Where's the remake!?

Next Generation, the greatest Video game magazine of all time that destroyed it's reputation overnight by boldly and wrongly proclaiming Super Mario 64 was the greatest video game of all time.

Right before EQ came out on PS2, a Sam Goody opened in my rural mall. I befriended the owner (because I was in love with his Olivia Wilde looking employee) and he would talk about how I need to get better internet so "we can play EQ on my PS2 because you can literally do anything, ANYTHING".

xD Ohh gosh, right! I was thinking of the Champions of Norrath ARPGs, but right, a version of MMORPG Everquest did come out for PS; EverQuest Online Adventures.

I need to buy a bunch of old PC gamer magazines, those are always a treat to go through

sharkabytes.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yeah! I have mostly console and microcomputer magazines in our library, but old PC Zones and the like are on our hitlist as well.
