It was the start of 1996 I believe. I remember signing up for an internet connection without really knowing the whole deal about it (I saw email addresses in books and such. That was about it). My original plan was $5 per hour, and it was using a 9600 baud connection.

The first thing I did was go to Nintendo's site, then Square's, and then I was checking out Final Fantasy fansites. I ended up stumbling across a full Final Fantasy game written entirely in Microsoft QuickBASIC and I was blown away.
