7 years earlier, to be precise.
Yeah, but back then the internet wasn't as obiquitous as it is now, so something being online didn't necessarily mean that you'd have seen it, whereas now if something is a hit you'll see it in a matter of hours, really.
Like I probably did see the Hampster dance in the 90's possibly, but like the computer in the library wasn't one you could really use the speakers on, and I think it took until like 99-00 for dad to get a computer with an Internet connection. No it couldn't have been that late I was looking up Zelda faqs when playing Ocarina of Time and that was a few years earlier, as N64 came out in 1996. OOT came out in 98 okay.
