1998. I need help with Final Fantasy 7.

Buddy recommends this site I’ve not heard about, Game Facks.

It did not contain game FAQ’s.

Also, whitehouse.com, as was the style of the time.

When I was 14, I got in a flame war with another kid in the pokemon forum. I dropped a “What do you know? You’re probably 12!” He replied “Yeah, I’m 12. This is a pokemon forum. What are you doing here?”

I felt so thoroughly burned that I stayed out of internet arguments as much as possible from that point forward. A real valuable lesson early on. Thanks, GameFAQs!

Honestly been one of the most useful websites for me over the years.

Before the Internet got social media, we had the GameFAQs voting thing; you’d get head to head popularity contests of coolest characters. Cloud always won, but it was nice to check daily to see who was most popular.

I still use GameFAQs, though. Even after the buyout, the guides are important to those of us RetroAchevement-ing through some older titles.

Boy the KOTOR gamefaq guides I had bookmarked were something else. I would have missed so much of the games without them. Instead, I got to see every single possible dialogue line in the games.

I think wikis have taken over that niche, at least for more popular games.

Really sad to see your entire generation give in as it shrinks, and do nothing else with their lives. Next year, the youngest Millenial becomes 30.

Goodbye, friends.

Using that site always made me feel more deep shame than any porn site.

Big shout-out to the absolute GOAT CyricZ, who has perfect guides for every single Yakuza game in existence.

I remember when Gamefaqs was hated for stealing individual creators’ walkthroughs. Obviously, that didn’t pan out.

Stealing, as in replacing/faking who the author was?

As i recall, the files were user submitted so it was more of a tacit consent of plagiarism.

Good memories. I was a regular on the boards at one point in time, and regularly contributed to the secrets/cheats/bugs sections

I used to print armored core walkthroughs and take them to my room. I think that’s why my parents let me have a computer in my room. So I could use a floppy to bring them over without printing

I remember the game grumps did a walkthrough of some sonic game and they were going through some guys 10+ year walkthrough that was really well done. It was hilarious some of the comments the walkthrough person wrote.

Perhaps it’s because I grew up with adventure puzzle games and point’n’click games, but GameFAQs was always the nuclear option for me.

I much preferred the Universal Hint System - an approach more suited to nudging you towards figuring out the answer for yourself.

There’s no denying that it was (and is) a fantastic resource though. Hell, I’ve even written a guide myself. One of the last bastions of the 90s and 2000s WWW experience.
