There was no law regarding it.

Basically it was a empty threat back then.

there were

Replayed Total Annihilation the other day and it's way, way harder than I remember.

they used the copyright laws that applied to any other media

Oh, TA was great.

that list is sorta right... sorta

i never played any of the racing games

I hate racing games except for Mario Kart.

That shit had so many areas you could explore.

So many things to see.

F-Zero.

Star Wars: Episode I Racer.

F-Zero... was fun.

Oh I actually liked Episode 1 Racer.

Building my favorite pod racers.

_smiles in smug._

F-Zero was good.

It was also the first game released for the SNES in America.

i never much liked racing games till grand turrismo came along

It was there before super mario world

i think

What about... Need for Speed?

or shortly afte

The first one where you could costumize your car

GT was before NFS i think

underground was cool though

NFS was good, too.

NFS underground was the shit

I just don't like pure racing games, without any other elements.

Heck yeah.

i loved my 350z in that game

Not beat pimping out your car.

Right, that's what made it fun.

Nothing^

If you can upgrade your car and it actually matters.

If it's just cosmetic - meh.

I like the fact you could just cruise around.

And toy with the features on the car.

ya i forget what one they added that in

I just don't like the ones were it takes forever to catch up once you've fallen behind.

Then you sit there and play through the entire race, knowing you can't really win anymore.

Ever played Neopets?

Well my neopets died.

20 years ago.

😦

RIP

lol

wait

im i being rick rolled?

Neopets might have been on the lamer side of online games, but it sure was a hell lot of fun. Thankfully, they haven’t changed much over the years besides the web design - Marina the faerie is still gifting potions at the healing springs (she hasn’t aged), free daily omelettes are still up for grabs at the Tyrannian Plateau, and your pet’s still starving.

Adventurequest... was the bane of my existence.

They constantly wanting me to pay to play.

everquest

i spent so many years in there

```
```

Counterstrike actually keeping up with today's graphics.

like literally have about a 4 year period in my head where almost all the memories are EQ memories not RL ones

I used to enjoy MUD games.

ya i played a few muds

Dragonrealms was fun.

not sure i would ever say i enjoyed them

You had to role play.

but i tried too

If you didn't, you could be penalized or banned.

I remember wanting to play EQ... but I never could afford it.

ya i was bascially stealing the internet i used to play eq lol

and a lot of times i was on someone elses credit card to play

lol

So you were committing fraud to play EQ?

Lmao.

sort of, but dont turn me in or nothin lol

I think we all did that at one time or another.

i had a un/pw for the local ISP that someone gave me that was like the techsupport login

https://90kids.com/games/

was using combinations of game cards and a buddys mom to keep the account open

Ever played aladdin back then?

That fucking game made me pull out my hair.

I beat it though.

ya that was a tough one

i never much liked it

but it was hard

Yeah it was.

So much on the screen to distract ya

I think my favorite was the arcade shoot them uppers.

Where you fly a jet.

ya a lot of them were pretty decent

Kill and avoid blasts.

afterburner

I hate... absolutely had the side scroller beat em uppers.

I couldn't get the hang of it.

man i loved the xmen arcade game

still do

They are going to make more Sony's MARVEL Spider-Man Spider-manless Dark Extended Cinematic Universe (aka SMSMSMDECU) movie thank to Venom's movie's box office & budget.

i go to the barcade just to beat it every now and again still

Nice... one still functioning.

And still used.
