From the early '90s.

I miss the simplicity of a 320x200x256 screen. Want to access the pixel at (0, 0)? $A000:0000.

I miss FIDONet.

I miss the big GOPHER network.

I miss the the variety of monthly ANSi packs.

I miss ACiD.

I miss the wonder and amazement of the demo scene.

I miss the community feel.

While not exactly as it was of course, FTN-style networks including FidoNet are still going and active, Gopher is still a thing, ANSI packs are still being released very regularly (ACiD folks are mostly Blocktronics at this point), demo scenes are still active, so on.

Hop on a Telnet/SSH BBS and check it out!
