It's December 1999 and it's time to kick back, relax, and surf the web! Over 70 websites and 100 webpages to visit, take your time and enjoy this old-web recreation.

Thanks for checking out the game! Right off the bat, I'm warning you: sound leveling is all sorts of fucked up (sometimes even bugged(unfixable)) so keep in mind that you can access Volume Controls by right clicking - you can also go fullscreen from there!

Okay, so, now that that's over, here's a lil explainer what this whole thing is:

It's a sandbox windows simulator (and/or parody/tribute) with a focus on exploring the 90s internet - which you can do after going through the Internet Connection Wizard setup.

(Between you and me, it's more of an internet simulator really)

The game takes place in December 1999 by the way, so keep that in mind while exploring.

That's it, that's the game. Click around, make sure you read what's going on - there's some cool stuff scattered around - and try to find all the secrets. Or maybe set a highscore in a game or something. OH YEAH, there are actual games you can play inside, too!

Have fun, and thank you for playing!

Made for the Flash Forward 2025 game jam on Newgrounds.
If you like the game, please consider getting me a coffee.
