My parents ended up getting a second phone line because of EQ, lol.

56k ftw though. I used to connect to bulletin boards with my 2800 baud modem when I was in 4th grade back in like 1990.

I just couldn't figure out some of those sierra adventure/rpg games without those damn bulletin boards. Stupid elementary-school-aged kid.

The main reason classic was so difficult for me was because if my mom picked up the phone I'd instantly go LD and die. Ah, the memories.

Back in '96 my phone company charged like 10cents a minute or something crazy for even local calls. My mother was pretty pissed about that. Then I started playing a game on AOL that cost $1.99 an hour, she got a $300 AOL bill and I wasn't playing that anymore...

i used to shout and make hissing noises into the phone while my mom was online so it would kick her off and i would get a chance to play EQ.
