Wow thats crazy, and i think i actually remember coming here to download demos back then but that was all i came here for. Changed alot since then. Ahh the old days.
I must be a Original Gamespot User, I remember coming to it in 94-95 I thought. I differently remember that screen. Wow, its like looking at an LP or something, and to think that was only a little over 10 years ago.
Back when... wasn't Gamespot just like www.cnet.com/games? It didn't have any special name like crazy what not. woolysockofdoom
Different site. GameSpot was acquired by CNET within the last7 years. Before that it was part of a different media company. GameCenter was CNET's previous game property. When GameSpot was subsumed, GameCenter was decommissioned.
Actually we were pretty early adopters. We used it when it was still PHP/FI. Also mod_perl. The original site that's archived there was powered by Lotus Notes believe it or not. -jsd- (no longer works for GameSpot)
I've been coming to gamespot since the late 90s, and my favorite look for the site has been the one right before the current layout. I was really sad to see it change - especially around the same time every other site I visited daily seemed to change its layout (newgrounds, penny-arcade, somethingawful, others i can't remember).
