(Serious):
For those of you too young to remember or who never lived in a world with dial-up Internet
While I can't say I miss dial-up too much, this is still quite nostalgic.
 
Back when we were still Asking Jeeves...

There were some gold websites back in the day, like Purple Hell, for all your message ciphering and deciphering. Countless hours spent finding mirrors of websites that hosted Flash games that hadn't been blocked by school web filters....ahh, good times
 
First thing that always comes to mind for me when I think of dial-up is Quake and Jedi Outcast.
 
Speaking of old internet nostalgia, does anyone remember those old game freeware sites like Game Hippo and Acid Play? I discovered a bunch of stuff like Soldat and Gunz The Duel through them way back when.
 
I made a mosaic of every user in this thread, hope u like it :))

Did you ever play Cyberjoueur Bomberman?

Ask Jeeves had character. Remember Inktomi?

Their logo is vaguely familiar to me, but can't say I ever used their search engine!
When I wasn't using software like Dance Ejay and Story Animator at school, I was mainly being exposed to new music and games online through friends and by throwing random searches at Google to see what stuck

I think the first time I heard internet dial up tones, I thought I'd caused actual physical harm to the family PC.
I have visions of patting a big white monitor apologetically
I remember that sound. It was 2006 and we were so poor we were browsing the net with AOL trial CDs that they still sent by the fucking truckload for some reason. It sounded like R2D2 having a stroke.
