Just remembered that seeing Doom for the first time is another obvious one. Man that game was incredible when it came out.

All my friends and I used to have Yahoo! email addresses. But for some reason around 2010 almost everyone’s accounts seemed to be getting compromised and sending weird messages around to their contacts… and now I don’t know anyone with a Yahoo!
I never figured out what was going on and why Yahoo in particular seemed so affected by it.
The tiny thumbnail for this looked like a belly button on my phone, had no idea what I was tapping on at first
No, I was still being cheaper with phones at that stage.
I remember my friend getting an N95 and how that was a big deal back then haha.
After looking through an extremely long list of Nokia phones on Wikipedia, it might have been a 6120 classic.
My last ever Nokia phone, a half way house between old Nokias and smartphones circa 2008.
No touch screen, but could play music, videos, had a calendar etc.
Absolute piece of garbage. Got super hot at times doing who-knows what, and had a software bug where the audio would completely stop working until you rebooted it… which meant that multiple times my morning alarm went off completely silently and I was late for work.
Bought an iPhone 3GS as soon as my 1 year contract was up, Nokia were never relevant again after that era.
I feel the same way about it being a privilege. I missed the earliest part… but even to have lived through the NES and Master System era through to today has been amazing.
Games will continue getting ever more impressive, but nobody again will witness the kind of seismic leaps in what games could accomplish that people saw between the 70s and 2000s.
