This site doesnt work anymore but it used to be a large source for fake and real ghost videos which I loved:

Oh man, the last headline on that page:
"Square Returns to Nintendo Systems"
I remember that so clearly, and it was over 10 years ago. Time flies, life is short.

I think some of you were looking for http://www.sfdt.com
I cant believe I have friends that react like this on XBL today.
EDIT: Not with the crazy school reaction though...just the "everyone who plays good is hacking" part.

I won a copy of Saturn Bomberman from an official contest on Sega's homepage ages ago. Had I not fallen for the trick question, I would have gotten a commemorative leather jacket to go with it. Fun times. Always used to download whatever game demos they had up there. I remember it taking an eternity to nab a 4MB file over 14.4k.
I kinda wish I saved the files for my old Geocities sites just for the heck of it. I wrote some pretty thorough N64 guides back in the day with maps and everything that were at least somewhat popular for the day.
I had my own EZBoard for a circle of friends that I met through the internet. Did some fairly heavy customization on the layout that tied it together with all of our personal websites. It was good enough to catch the eye of a few people who asked me if I could do some web design work for them... the only one of which I remember being a foot fetish website.
Anyone remember the CG Shrines? Pretty sure that was my first exposure to that sort of artwork.
Had a friend who had WebTV for a while. Remember that thing?

(I don't know if other people were familiar with this or not, but my friends and I cried laughing at this for years)

Also, why couldn't the King just take out the Queen there, why is it checkmate?
NVM, it's white who got the checkmate, the king and queen looked reversed to me.

I have to say, I think I kind of preferred it when white text on black background was more common than the inverse. Black on white is like staring into a lightbulb all the time.

I remember using Altavista A LOT. I also remember Audiogalaxy (NEVR 4GET!) and Kazaa with its endless malware and BearShare. Never used Napster, though - didn't have internet back then.
I remember hating RealPlayer (a hatred that will endure even when I'm gone) but mostly using it or WMP for videos. MusicMatch Jukebox was my preferred player for a while, but then I started using Winamp.
Also, for latin american-GAF: I used LATINCHAT when I was bored. It was hilarious and a bit sad... me and my friends, 10 year old kids, using LatinChat and some of its risqué rooms for fun... we could've been easy prey for pedos. Thankfully none of that happened.

Used to watch this constantly.
My god, what happened to excite.com? I used to go there all the time to chat with babes, back in the day. This site is a disaster of web design now.

I guess my NeoPet is probably dead.

Gentlemen...we can go back. It was a purer age. But we would have to destroy this timeline to do it. Who's with me?
Wrong. Buttface was evolved, by force, into a deviant neo-fur and is now being exploited on some Rule34 furry porn site they only talk about in Community. You're probably the only good memory Buttface has left.

Anyone remember Bonzi?
Why are they sharing a single wine glass?
Oh that's right because they're too poor to afford AOL and opted to go with Compuserve.

And then before Wikipedia, between playing hours of Sim City 2000, I would just basically get lost in the "encarta hole". I loved it.
