What was /v/ like in the 90s?

Who cares? Overwatch didn't exist back then.

It didn't exist you fucking faggot, in the 90's there was 3chan, it didn't update to 4chan till 2003.
>>
>>339076686

Some early video game BBS's/Usenet groups looked like cool places, no need to suck mod cock and freedom of speech was tolerated.

>>339076686
/v/ was already shit in the 90s. It was decent in the 80s and great in the 70s.

It was very different from what you know now because 4chan was a different place entirely. When it was created in 1989, 4chan was used as a place to discuss and trade rare snail shells (hence the rarely used nickname for 4chan, 'slime town'). /v/ actually stood for Venomous, as in shells from poisonous snails. Of course, this all changed when Christopher Moot bought 4chan in 1997 and restructured it into the anime themed image board you know and love. Most users left after the buyout, but a few "oldshells" still frequent the site.

God, I miss those days. It really was the only place you could go for good shell discussion.

How can consolecucks even compete?
>>
>>339077670
When the board was adapted in 1998 for Video Games, it originally was only allowed to post shell-related and snail based games, like Jaws for NES, EVO Search for Eden, and SimAnt. However, Moot decided this would not increase his ad revenue.

Is the joke that all the top games use the same engines as the bottom?
>>
>>339078857
No. That series is shit and I won't pretend otherwise just because some people like it. Take shitty gunplay and slap a boring fucking story on it, wow 10/10 gotyay.
>>
>>339077409
>there will soon be people browsing who were born after 4chan was shat out into the net
Oh god, I'm actually kind of scared.

>>339078962
Yes, Wolfenstein uses the Build Engine.

this

>>339079283
Why are people still making doom wads and mods when half life is more of a one and done game then? That's because the gameplay is doom is better. Half life is just the bioshock of its day. A game with shitty gameplay that people love because of the story.

It was great, there were no console wars, no shitposting, no meme spamming, no tripfags.
