I remember my father showing me early Yahoo!, my family was into roller skating, and he looked up some stuff about roller skating. Grey backgrounds, Times New Roman and some slowly loading pictures.
The very first thing I ever independently used the internet to do was look up cheat codes for Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, using Ask Jeeves. At the time, they had this campaign that you could just…type a natural sentence and it would answer. We were a quarter century from that actually happening, but my tweenage ass typed “Where are the cheat codes kept?” and I did manage to bumble my way to a Web 1.0 cheat code site, this was before GameFAQs and those hugely long ASCII documents.
