Day Dawns - Phantasy Star Online

This is one song that can trigger a bunch of memories with just a few notes.

Probably my first real online game.

Same here. I’d played Quake and Half-life online but PSO was the first RPG/MMO type game I played, which is the only type I play now.

I had so much fun with this game when it came out! I didn’t have the Dreamcast broadband adapter, but I was able to use an old modem in our PC to share it’s DSL connection with the Dreamcast’s 56K modem.

Dreamcast era music was next level too. There’s just something about it.

Same, I had cable at home but couldn’t get a broadband adapter… from what I recall they were discontinued or something and you could only get one from Japan. My brother got one of the gigantic PSO controllers with a keyboard…

No way! And I was using a separate keyboard like some kind of loser.

Have you seen them? It was a pretty wild controller.

I love it! Wouldn’t want to use it though. 🙃
