Man i spent soooooo much time in weird AOL chatrooms. I remember when I was like 8 (I don't know why my parents let me roam the internet unsupervised at 8) I would pretend to be 18. I befriended some girl who was 14, and she asked how much I weighed. I had no idea how much an 18 year old was supposed to weigh so I said 100 pounds. She made fun of me for being puny.

In a 1997 (first season) episode of Showtime's Stargate SG-1 there's an Egyptian dance variation of the hamster dance on the computers in a couple of scenes.

Every time I see that I die a little.

The topic title is saying things from when "the internet sucked." The things we're posting aren't necessarily bad! Just popular.

Dragon Court? Anyone else play that?

Also, pre-Neopets pet simulator games. There was one with like four races (a bug, a big red golem, some orange thing, and a blocky thing) and clickable maps with randomly appearing items.

And Dragonball Z RPGs.

Augh, hated CartoonOrbit. Think I left when that was first starting to get off the ground. Loved all the games CN.com had though! The DBZ rock paper scissors fighter, the game where I think Courage would walk around trying to get a bunch of items from Cartoon Network characters. FOXKids had some decent things too.

I think I remember that! Didn't it take place on the beach, or something?

Yes yes yes. The island resort game.

I actually just remembered looking Cartoon orbit up a long time ago.

I couldn't figure out how to get into it so I never bothered.

Also can't believe no one said newgrounds and runescape yet.

If you guys are referring to Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort, I remember that too. Just playing every episode not so long ago, in fact.

Want to listen to more video game music every day?
Check out the VGMusicoftheDay Youtube Channel sometime!

CartoonOrbit was definitely at its best during its first two years. After that, CN didn't put nearly as much effort into it... but man, when it started, it was legendary!

Crazy to think that site started over a decade ago. Holy cow.

Holy crap, I just searched a few names of people I used to play Word and Trivia with and the things are still going on. I thought it was dead long ago, but it's still going on.

I'm almost tempted to get AOL again just to play a few rounds. Not happening, but those were some fun and hilarious games.
