History of ASSEMblergames.com?

I think i remember seeing assembler back in the late 90s / early 00's when i was searching the web but i didn't take much notice back then as my dads computer was the only one connected to the net and i used it only a small number of times a month so didn't bother bookmarking anything.

It wasn't untill years later in 2004-2005 that i stumbled upon the main museum that was here when searching for M2 and general less well known gaming items info and i then visited the forum which i didn't sign upto until 06.

 

So I was 9/10 when this site first started. I had internet back then on dial up. Pity I never found it.

Only found this site when I stumbled across a PSY-Q Saturn on eBay that was apparently shipping with Resi 1.5 I found this site via google search. Sure enough members here had already found the auction and debunked it as fake.

 

I think I've heard the first time about assembler in like 1998. Yakumo was one of the first users I knew from here, and if I iirc we even had ICQ contact from time to time back then..lol.

 

Not heard anyone mention ICQ in ages.

I remember back in the day (mid-late 90's)when my dad worked in a computer shop and he put ICQ on his home PC and work PC then during quiet periods he could chat to me which at the time i thought was so cool. He may have even set up voice chat but i am not 100% sure on that one as it was too long ago now.

I do wish i had got my bedroom PC connected to our internet back in the 90's so i could have found sites like assembler.

THIS is what I came here looking for, as I loved, LOVED Galaxy Fraulein Yuna back in the day.

Then I saw all the obscure hardware in the museum, and I stayed.

I remember a different drawing at the index of the site, though, a close up of a girl's face. I might be losing my memory.

 

It was hosted on a BBS? Wow!
By this time, I was playing Doom on my father's 486 PC. =)
I think the first time I entered the site was in early 2000.

 

I take it, it was not just back in the day, hey?;-)

 

I was actually engineered for the website before its inception. I only remember the lab but from then on I took a life of my own.

 

Too bad, I first heard of ASSEMblergames in 2007 iirc.

Amazing the site and community exists since 1994!

 

I remember my first interactions on bulletin boards where somewhere around 9/11 as I remember watching my mum talk about it on a BB. It could be earlier.

 

I started playing games when I was 3 years old (1995), it wasn't until 1997 when I first had Internet access (Web desgin sucked balls back then).

It's incredible to think that this site is almost as old as me!

 

Well, yeah, I still love GFY, but looking for Galaxy Fraulein Yuna I came across Galaxy Angel, a completely unrelated series, that I now love even more. Both are quite similar in the fact that they are sub-par games with sub-par girly animes, and that I'm a rabid fan, still.

Also, both extremely hard to collect from where I live. That sucks.

That being said, that last Yuna OVA (the one with Ayako) was so, SO good!

 

1994? I had no idea this place was that old. Just remember stumbling upon the old museum a few years ago, although honestly, it was probably in about 2004, so a little more than a few years... Don't remember if this forum was up yet, but the old museum is still great, good thing archive.org exists.
And it makes me feel old when I see people born in the mid-90s on the Internet :crying:

 

elevin years ago today i would be 14, neat

 

i found the mueseum back in 2000/2001. I was looking for the blue PSone and Net Yaroze, my friend had a video game magazine that talked about it. I didn't even KNOW there was a forum until the whole "EARTHBOUND 64DD DISKS FOUND" thing was posted on Joystiq in like 2005 or 2006. Lurked and then finally registered in 2007.

 

Honestly I remember it was early 2000s late 90s (not sure was durring the dreamcast era) when I found assembler. Don't remember exactly what I was looking for to be honest, but I stumbled upon the museum.

Thought it was the most amazing thing ever (you have to realize at this time development kits and debugs weren't commonly shown on the internet).

Then when updates were starting to slow to a crawl, I started visiting the forum which was like a whole new site in itself. Really was the only place that seemed serious about gaming and often had the edge on protos and collectable stuff. I remember the old forum being rather tame looking compared to now.

Sites come a long way, question is with the youtube channel will the museum ever be back? Or will those items in the museum be covered again in youtube videos?

 

Man, this is awesome. I would've never thought that Assembler is this old.

Makes me wonder how old Assembler is.

 

He's almost to the "top of the hill" if you know what I mean ;-).

I've been part of the forums since the EZBOARD days and saw this place transition into the website it is now. Before that I did learned about this place either some website article talking about "blue/green PS1 debugs" or a gaming mag article.

I remember that ASSEMbler liked Ranma, which is what the first image he attached is, I believe, although my memory is not so great with that stuff.

I wouldn't be surprised if ASSEMbler still logs onto old BBS servers still up and running and still have access to old beta roms, etc.

Still no "Zaxxon reseller" shirt..... don't remember if it is zaxxon but you should be able to remember that ;-)

 

The History of ASSEMbler

I myself am surprised at life's little quirks. Kevin is not the original ASSEMbler.

The previous ASSEMbler had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So one day he messaged Kevin over AIM and told Kevin his secret.

"I am not ASSEMbler," he said. "My name is Ryan. I inherited the website from the previous ASSEMbler, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited from was not the real ASSEMbler either. His name was Cummerbund. The real ASSEMbler has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Pantagonia."

Then he explained that the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You see, no one would join a website called gamesncrap.com. So they started a new site, created brand new forums, brought on an entirely new staff of moderators, and Ryan stayed aboard as an admin, all the time calling Kevin, ASSEMbler.

Once the forum members believed, Ryan left the site, and Kevin has been ASSEMbler ever since.

 

Is that all true? Cant help but feel I might be being gullible here.:lol:
