just tried googling them and apparently the old freewebs archive doesn’t exist anymore :sunglasses:

I had numerous pages on Geocities, including several for fanfics I started (but obvs never finished). Thank god that’s all long gone.

used to play this super fucking cool game called Graal which I later learnt was just a complete rip of Zelda

Spent ages making my own levels and NPC scripts in this

On telnet in uni in 94 on the role playing, goth and industrial pages.
I learned to type using M.u.d’s

I was searching for that Bert is Evil site. That’s one of my earliest memories. I was in Y7 then!

oh wow I remember all music. Where I used to get my opinions on music I’d never heard before DiS
