History of ASSEMblergames.com?

Wow, you knew a lot about webdesign as a just 5yo.

 

I'm jealous of people who can feel nostalgic about this site.

 

^ ^;
well us, elders can tell you a thing or two about the old time...
you see once upon a time....

interesting to see i had yet to see the light of the world when everything started (was born in 1996) and it was as awesome as it is today (or some sort of)
i dont remember how i got to the site though... i think it was through youtube videos from ASSEMbler ._.

 

I don't even remember how I found this place...

 

I remember that and napster was still around. It was a black background with red borders and white font. First place I ever saw a dreamcast dev kit and a lot of other dev kits. Thier was nothing like assembler at the time.

 

The Dreamcast dev kit is what originally led me to a mirror of the museum site. I was randomly searching about on the then still new Google and saw a thumbnail of it. My first thought was that it might have been a hacked together DC/PC. LOL I was quite surprised to see that it was official and that the GD-ROM drive opened just like a typical PC optical drive.

 

I used the museum a lot. REALLY cool back in the day, between that and TSR NES archive. I found the forum again when someone found what was believed to be Beta Mother 3 64DD disks. I floated around, lurking and registered in 2007...

 

Ahhh the good old days. When Biohazard 1.5 was a myth and Ebay was a great place.

 

I became a part of this forum 9/10 years ago (yup I was also a member, when the forum did not look like it is now). And damn what a load of battles, and what not has happened since Met great friends, and formidable opponents, including people. Whom probably were the reason, why my English has improved over the years. Hell, everything from AWS and Mr. Casual to Barcodes, who will even to this day, not accept being called Barcode, but Barc0de ;-) And people, who asked me to drop the line "No I do not know you cousin in Aalborg". From the location of my country. Since they actually knew a person who has lived in Aalborg , and they were not cousins. But old friends, whom I also had the pleasure meeting (only over MSN). But still cool stuff to having alphagamer at my flat , and speaking English nonstop, and not getting a headache , because of only thinking , and speaking in English to loads of other stuff. Damn, I am getting nostalgic.

 

I'm sure he's probably just remembering how sites looked, but it wouldn't be too far fetched if he at least knew the concept of a website. I started doing html at like age 7 because of neopets and that's what basically got me started on making god awful websites on freewebs and geocities or whatever.

I mean, I was terrible at it but I still knew the concept of web design and what a bad site looked like.

 

Too sad I was born in 2k.

 

I'm really impressed to see people your age here.

I'm 26 now and I remember using internet for the first time in 1996, sadly I didn't know that much English and Mugen took all the free time I had back than.
Creating Dragon Ball characters were so awesome.

Nice to see you guys trading history like good old old old people ))

@ Assembler,

It's been some time since you made a new video, what about one with just your face telling the site story?
Or maybe you could call Legit and Yakumo over at skype and record it all, it would be fun to watch.

 

I recall first time I got on the Net way back late 80s - we were using shell account on UNIX machines and Web was the thing spider makes out of her/his backend. Years later I saw WWW and an application called Mosaic... Memories....

 

I Started to play true games when I was 4 years old with Gens emulator that my big cousin installed to my pc.

 

I believe I first heard of ASSEMber from seeing Kev's IS-NITRO-CAPTURE in a Tiny Cartridge article back in '08(?). Yet I didn't know of this community until late 2011. Wish I knew about this place back in '98 when I first hopped onto the internet. The good old days of Windows 95/98 and my dad having some hair.

 

I probably would have heard of this place sooner but I never had internet access until mid 2011. My asshole stepfather hates technology with a passion. One of those old school types who would rather live 200 years in the past. So while I was growing up at home I never had any internet. Only reason we even had a TV set and a computer was because his grandparents bought them for us and throwing them out would make him look bad to the family. Glad I'm out of that place now and live in my own house. I do as I please now.

 

I remember how black/red this site was, in the past.
I might mistake it, but I remember how it all went about Prototypes, Dev-stuff, etc., but I never joined that one, because the behaviour of the people was terrible.
But one of the Members was an Administrator, and was called "Assembler".

That's all I can remember, I don't remember the date, though.
