>>211692823>That's kind of sad.We had an internet cafe/LAN center culture and given the economical situation it just made sense. In 1996 the equivalent of a single USD can give you an hour of internet cafe time in my country, while an arcade machines needed a quarter, the arcades just didn't stand the chance given the price disparities.
I have a lot of fond memories of playing Counter-Strike and Warcraft 3 custom maps from that time.
