Message: [QUOTE="FR4M3, post: 6355, member: 972"] They're also still a thing in India, I didn't have permanent internet connection up until 2017 when we got our first broadband connection. Before that I used to write down my questions and things I want to look up on a piece of paper and save money for a week then head to a Cafe for couple hours to get the information I needed when I was learning how to mod & load my games in the early 2010s (source engine and 8-16bit emulators). Before Internet cafes and gaming parlors used to be seperate as PC gaming wasn't much hip and the high end hardware was quite expensive in mid 2000's (still is though). Now most of them have merged the cafes into one, some have a mix of PCs and modded consoles where you pay to play on a console for a alotted time or just use a PC like normal. I used to frequently go to a gaming parlor near me when my mom was learning Computer via a local institute when I was nine. There was No one to look after me so she'd give me enough for hour or sometimes half so that I didn't have to sit in a single place doing nothing with her. And the place I frequented to used to be so packed that the owner would lose track of how long a kid is playing on a console. I used to clock in 2-3 hours while only paying for a quarter ?, managed to finish GOW 2 and Ben 10 Protector of Earth on the PS2 that way. [/QUOTE]
