What was your first memory of the internet?

I don't know about the absolute first but I was big into the Hot Wheels site which had many flash games.

Taking an hour trying to figure out how to log on to starcraft multiplayer

binging Avatar the Last Airbander on a 4GB cap and getting a 200 euros bill at the end of the month. Got such a fucking beat from my mom when I came back home that day,

I really wanted internet after that

Took me 2 hours to download the OOT rom for Trwin64 emulator while my sister yelled at me to leave the phone line.

Might have been in school. Didn't get "get" what the Internet was or what it could do so I just looked at the then WWF website.

Flashgames

I had a phone and literally no one told me I could hook the line to my Dreamcast to play that shit online.

Played Phantasy Star Offline from start to end.

Having no idea where to go or what to do and typing in big boobs in the search bar

Runescape Classic. I'm sure there was some other thing i went to initially like maybe the official pokemon website just before gen 3 was being advertised but I'm not sure.

I was on the internet long before it was graphical. I remember having to browse it completely through text commands.

In terms of the graphical internet, I remember being in the college library and there was a room dedicated to the internet and that there were strict limits that you could only be online for 30 minutes at a time. there were fifteen desks and everyone one of them was filled and there were ppl waiting.

Neopets

Playing Arthur flash games in like 2002 or 2003

The sound of a dial-up connection doing its thing.

There were both 2D and some 3D online games that remind me of Trackmania but I can't find any information about them at all and it seems like wayback machine didn't archive it properly, people lament Newgrounds stuff but it's all there safely stored, there are so many old internet things that have been lost and no one bothers to remember them.

Runescape 1 or Newgrounds. I still remember some of the old edgy flash games, but it was cool back then because we were all a bunch of edgy teens at the time. What the hell happened to my generation?

any oldfags remember those touch screen cabinets at the arcade? they had solitaire and mahjong and stuff but they also had some archaic browser to go online. I used that to go to the Iron Maiden site just to see what the internet looks like. that was late 90s I think.

Downloading Ranma 1/2 scans with 14,4bps dialup modem

Cringe culture turned our generation into a bunch of nihilist cowards

As much as there some nice things about the modern internet, I miss the 1994-1997 internet...

Being about 6 or 7 and looking up "princess peach naked" on Google search.

Searching for "nude pictures"
I was in 2nd grade

I remember going to EPCOT Center in the early 80s and they had touch screens and you were just blown away that they worked at all. That was god-tier flash gordon sci-fi stuff right there. You could even design your own roller coaster using that stuff. Talk about having your little child mind blown by that stuff...

nothing happened dude, we just grew up.

Visiting those pre-Zig Forums pre-facebook pre-9gag pre-reddit funny image sties which were really just one guy posting random stuff that he thought was funny.

nick.com in the late 90s

visiting TRSRocking and learning how to exploit DPPt. That's only my earliest memory. I think I recall a friend who told me about a different pokemon forum that they were a part of during RSE's hayday.
