It was the best place at the time to find really obscure releases for most consoles, it's how I even found UFO for the PS1.

It was my jam during the mid-2010s.

It's really unfortunate that infighting murdered it.

An elegant website from a more civilized internet

All I know is that The ISO Zone was a ROM and ISOs website legend along with the discontinued Emuparadise.

jesus you unlocked a REALLY old memory from my mind. Isozone used to be my place to download games always when I was in my first years of high school, and also the only one where I could find dreamcast games. I remember that it was a total nightmare to find DC games, it wasn't so easy as it is now that you can find every game on every site. That place and snesorama (also rip) used to be my full resources, and others that were spanish sites from modern consoles (from that era ), espalpsp, espalwii, espalnds. There was also espalps3 and espal360 iirc, but didn't have those as a kid so they weren't so present on me.

man, emuparadise... IDK if the site is still active, but it still breaks my heart to remember the day that nintendo sued them and they removed ALL of the links of the games. I used to still go to the page, with the ilussion that magically, all the roms would be available again. I hope this place never dissapears from the internet

I too loved ISO Zone. It really had a massively unique collection of games. It's how I discovered Decklin's Domain which is a website that introduced me to one of my all time favorite games, Demise. EmuParadise was also an amazing site before it got messed with by Nintendo. All the more why I appreciate RGT as much as I do.

Isozone, Demonoid, all those sites were great.

I don't remember that website. I always got my stuff from Romhustler, Emuparadise, Fantasy Anime, and CD Romance. Sometimes Vimm's Lair, but once the games hit the internet archive and I found places I could download CHD directly like archive and Myrient, that's been my go-to. I bet there are many legends I've forgotten over the years.

I still have some old ass bookmarks on Chrome that I should delete:

Good times. Izozone and Emuparadise are the two that I remember the most outside of a place like Pirate Bay.

yes :-(

I used to get onto that site and download weird Windows 95 games from my childhood before going to work, knowing that I'd have something awesome to get back to after my grind.

You can't put a score on that sort of thing.

I also weep for EmuParadise, for the longest time the only site on the net to host huge games like The Curse Of Monkey Island and elusive gems like Jet de Go! 2.
