In 99 we only had crappy dialup and I didn't really know how to browse the web, even if I sort of understood the basics (and I would have been six, admittedly). My dad would look up cheat codes at work for games I was playing and download the Web page onto a floppy drive to bring home to me. It was wild times.
That to say, the infrastructure was all there, but it's hardly guaranteed as a kid that you're browsing the web and know where to find all the best glitches.
hardly guaranteed as a kids that your browsing … would know where to find the best glitches?
You are were 6. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
Game related glitches and codes and walkthroughs are EXACTLY what kids were using for the internet for back then. I’m not arguing everyone had access to this, but please remember how this discussion started. Someone claimed 1999 was pre internet, which is insane.
