Played with it a bit in high school, but never really got onto it until we got it at home in 1997. Being an 18 year old kid at the time, I'm sure you can guess one of the big things I was looking up.
I remember the old fastball.com web forum, pretty much the first message board I posted on. I lurked on the Flames newsgroup. Loved that TSN.ca had the hockey version of QB1, and was pissed when they removed it.
