Or pour some malt liquer on the ground. Whatever works best for you. This thread is for those video game websites from our youth that no longer exist. Maybe they were good, maybe they were bad. No matter. So long as you look back with many feels at once was.

Now a parked domain. Happy puppy and other cheat code websites like it were a staple of my childhood. From a time when my access to the internet was extremely limited happy puppy was the holy grail of cheat code websites. Unless I could beg my parents to take me to the library I'd otherwise have had to rely on Tips and Tricks magazine which rapidly became shit as they started to shift the focus away from cheats and more towards obvious tips and bullshit hints for games I didn't care about. Though I can't blame the folks over at Tips and Tricks magazine as it was around this time that the golden age of video game cheating was coming to an end. Still, those hints were some XBox 360 loading screen level wastes of time.
And here's where things get difficult, I just spent a few minutes trying to scrape my brain to come up with some more examples. As it happens, many of my seemingly obscure childhood gaming website obsessions are still kicking. VGmuseum looks exactly how I remember it from fucking 14 years ago. Candystand
(or how I didn't learn how to use home-row and love candy advertisements disguised as flash games) too. Somehow... this is worse. It makes me feel old.
So yeah.
