I used like 200 pages of my school's library printer for a bunch of games one day. Took a friggin eternity to print and the entire time I'm sweating thinking I'm going to be either screamed at by the librarian or called out for my nerd shit.

I think when IGN was new, it was n64.com then Nintendo eventually got around to stopping that.

Made first account in August 2001. Had been coming to the site already before that. Not sure if I started in 2000 or 2001, but they're in the same poll option.

Before 2000 for SNES and PSX FAQs, but made an account in 2002.
I printed a FAQ for FF3(6j).
There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

dunno. I registered for the forums early in 02, but I knew about it earlier than that. It might have been as early as 99 or 2000, which kinda makes it hard to vote since those are two separate options.

I think it was 1998. I think that was the year that christmas that I got xenogears and sometime during christmas break I got stuck in the game. I dont think the boards existed yet and it was just about FAQS

Around July 1998 looking for Mario RPG stuff and reading stuff on Zelda 64.

Didn't have my own PC until late 2000.

And then 9-11 and then the WoT board in 2002 convinced me to make a account.

1998. Last I checked the website still hosts a shitty review from that year for the favorite game of 12-year-old me, although it's erroneously dated more recently. As far as the message boards, I started visiting and registering accounts in early 2000 before landing on this one later that summer. CJayC purged accounts frequently back then, or at least it seemed that way.

Jesus, I think it was around the time Hybrid Heaven came out on the N64. I got stuck on one of the bosses in the game and didnt know what to do.

The internet being a relatively new thing at the time, I decided on a whim to just type in Hybrid Heaven. A GameFAQs walkthrough popped up...

GameFAQs was my 2rd option when I looked up Zelda games.

Zelda Power usually was 1st at the times I searched.

Also had good times at The Odyssey Of Hyrule.

'98. Found the website in a game magazine amount others but this one stood out to me. Took another year or so before I knew the boards existed and made an account.
