At that time all i knew how to do on the internet was AOL chat and looking at some very crudely made porn sites that severely lacked in content.
I didn't even know it was possible to play games "on the internet" before everquest 1 killed my life in 1999. And Tribes 2 then shit on its corpse for a while.
Anime Web Turnpike?!? I'd forgotten that place even existed. It's too bad he didn't visit Emiko's Genesis or Sluggy Freelance. My flashback would have been complete if he had.
I'd also forgotten about the joy of patiently waiting for a site's images to load, and trying to guess which anime characters would show up based only on their slowly emerging hairstyles. I think it's going to be something from Bubblegum Crisis. No, Gunsmith Cats! Definitely Gunsmith... Oh, I have no idea who that is...

This takes me back to when I used 14.4k modem on Windows 3.11 playing ZZT while listening to Mp2s because my 486/50mhz couldn't handle mp3s. Those were the days..
