Bro, I feel ya. I grew up on dial up. Was only ever able to get a 24.4k connection on a 56k modem. I played PC games back in the day like Rogue Spear and Diablo 2 (well even Diablo 1, WAY back in the day). To this day my parents house can only get dial up or satellite internet.

Yep. RuneScape was my life because of the internet restrictions. It was the only thing that could play somewhat well on dial up. Even then I’d get disconnected every 25 minutes or so. Not to mention my dad or mom making me get off to make a phone call being annoying as hell

I’ll take my being a middle schooler in the mid 2000s any day. Basically the exact same except we had consoles with the beginning of modern 3D graphics, and games like NCAA ‘06 and San Andreas.

I get it but after an Atari 2600, Nintendo was gold. We didn’t think it could get better.

Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Double Dragon, Double Dribble, River City Ransom, Zelda, Tecmo Super Bowl….. I could go on and on.

Ninja gaiden is awesome. I’ve played the collection that got put out for PS4. Contra was good too. I’ve never been a fan of the Zelda series which I know is blasphemy. Tecmo sucks but that’s because my first football game was NCAA 03 which was light years ahead of that. Never even heard of the other three to be honest.

Tecmo Super Bowl was and still is my favorite football game of all time…. I just wish they had made a college version.

The ‘cruit threads dominating this forum the past few days are all kids who will never take a snap here.

Only the thread name changes.

Find a kid with any talent, going elsewhere (bonus points if from TN) and you'll find those dead set on everyday posts about his greatness.
Rinse-repeat.

Maaaaan imagine if the Titans had Trey. Talk about their running game elevating!

Don’t even get me started, MoCo. Guy’s in the Titans’ backyard, but they didn’t know he could play? Didn’t know about his health issue, and how he was managing it? Just lazy.

I’ll say it again: Trey Smith will end up being one of the NFL’s all time worst collective scouting failures. How 31 organizations missed on this guy I’ll never understand.

I didn’t have enough friends with Xbox’s to play its multiplayer since it had to be LAN back then. Most of my friends got PS2’s. I was the only one with an Xbox.. to compound that where I lived in SC had only dial up as an option. That’s the case to this day in that area believe it or not. I was 18 the first time I lived somewhere with broadband. Luckily my grandma had cable though so I stayed with her every weekend to play Xbox Live lol

The coaches wanted him. The brass was scared of his health problems
