 Haven’t heard of either 🤔💜

The Simpsons Hit & Run, Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0 and Need For Speed Underground were my first 💜

Some flash games probably before that, like Club Penguin and some 8 pool site

 EverQuest is still around. Sony sold it to a small group of passionate devs.

 huh, that’s good atleast

heard some murmurs about jagex slowing down on banning botters, to inflate the active online user count, to increase the price of the company/game when selling it

think Carlyle owns Jagex now, right?

 I never played that one much. Back in the PS days I was all in on Gran Turismo.

 You had skills. GT controls were too touchy for me. 🤣😂

 loved racing and fps games so much more on pc than console

 FPS for sure, though I still prefer a controller for racing games, even on PC.
