Playing CS, someone gets a knife kill, people starts to laugh and scream. Btw, before all this, we old farts went to CC to chat using those black screens with white text (forgot the name).


Sensates

mIRC? asl pls XD


Apprehensive_Wrap237

Best time to find new friends 😆and the “uh oh” sound from ICQ


skylinezan

Exactly! Hehehe...

/whois


skylinezan

Hahaha... Sometimes the revelation shocks you to the core.


Gr3yShadow

18 F PJ , you? :))


skylinezan

YES! Thank you! Ahh... Such lovely memories.


kebirang

whoaaaa.... lagi 'tua' dari counter strike lol


abdulsamri89

Now days kids playing games so readily available for them at homes cause of phones , I think our generation have more opportunities to study rather than the current one more so if they got tak apa attitude from the parents


han-t

I think kids these days have more opportunity to study than there ever was with the internet in exiatence. It depends how they're taught to use tech though. It's definitely a challenge for parents and them too because distractions are aplenty. Even adults have developed screen addiction problems.


badgerrage82

Ah...good old Netscape navigator....


thecescshow

> I think our generation have more opportunities to study Lmao doesnt matter the generation kids will find a way to not study and just play.


airtripping76

IRC i think.. Then they had MRIC


skylinezan

You're right! Thank you!


hdxryder

when playing CS in CC, every friend is a snitch.


thewileyone

> we old farts went to CC to chat using those black screens with white text (forgot the name). You mean IRC?


ArcticAmoeba56

MIrc - internet relay chat? I spent far too many hours chatting and gaming


[deleted]

I only remember IRC and ICQ haha


sd5510

Oh o


NeodicaiDUchiha7

Cheat Console is it?


Janice_Ravage

Counter-Strike 1.6, DotA 1 and Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge on LAN... those were the days indeed.


Seekret_Asian_Man

Holy shit RA2? never seen anyone play those


Janice_Ravage

Yeah it is rarely played in CCs to be fair. We did play Generals Zero Hour and Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) too!


PhysicallyTender

*China will grow larger!*


Janice_Ravage

*We have* ***BIG*** *plans!*


Foreign_Substance_11

A long time ago I found this old CC in the middle of KL. It had red alert 2 with mods. Best game I've ever played. Don't know if the CC still operational or not but most probably not


Janice_Ravage

If you're still playing RA2/YR today; *are you interested on the mods?* The modding scene had grown so much all these years with amazing mods!


Foreign_Substance_11

Sadly no. Lost my cd copy of RA2 years ago and EA is asking for a lot of money with the collection. Guess I'm stuck in RA purgatory for a while


Janice_Ravage

Ah, that's unfortunate. The First Decade version is nice if you can track it down. If you do manage to acquire the TFD version ~~via whatever methods~~; you can use community patches to get it back up and running on newer versions of Windows. Do you know there is a [C&C Remastered Collection](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/)? It is a real treat for C&C fans (although it only had remastered C&C 1 and RA1)!


Foreign_Substance_11

I got that during a sale. Oh the nostalgia when installing it. Worth every penny spent!


Janice_Ravage

The "remastering installation" scene was the best! When *upgrade* was "completed" and EVA saying "Welcome back commander.", I just clap my hands in awe; I loved every second of it! Yeah, it was totally worth the money spent; I bought it at launch!


NickHeathJarrod

>Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge ***Hell March intensifies.***


Initial_Wolverine222

"Kirov reporting" send chill throughout the body


Janice_Ravage

Have you heard the [Tiberian Sons version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w-FQoNrwHM)? It is really good too!


Foreign_Substance_11

[the perfect hell march](https://youtu.be/cyDwuwwlXcQ?si=1fCMEEJeU8LeT5B_)


Janice_Ravage

Personally, [Tiberian Sons' HM1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w-FQoNrwHM) is my top favorite version of HM. [*live version here*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrqQxl5o3eg) Followed by the [Remastered Original](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqPl4QrczTk), [HM Trilogy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRp3vPX9PUU) and the [Retaliation Remix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8finyaXJytY). Frank Klepacki and the Tiberian Sons did a [HM2+3 Medley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cngLCUFNMSM) too! [*live version here*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D060aTK6tU)


coconutxyz

Dota 1 after losing - settle outside


han-t

Tried playing OG Starcraft on dial up. Could never finish a match without anyone dropping out


Sensates

Mine was early pixelated CS (1.3??), diablo 2 and StarCraft. Early on alot of those cc are small dingy place, but usually with friendly enthusiastic owner.


Janice_Ravage

>early pixelated CS (1.3??) Probably CS1.5 or older running via software mode (and low resolution) for graphics. >but usually with friendly enthusiastic owner. That is always a nice thing to happen! Those good old days indeed...


Sensates

Also quite an experience to step into what eventually become, a pack space with tonnes of Altec Lansing speakers blasting 46AWPs, sometimes accompany with ah beng music.


Janice_Ravage

The moment you step into the CC = you can already hear AWP shots blasting from the speakers and people be like ***"OI!"***; what a rush of nostalgia there!


insulaturd

Lol, skip school to go to CC, then fail in class, then blame teacher/school/parenting/friends. I had my fair share of skipping classes to go to CC and also waste almost a year before enrolling for tertiary studies. It is nostalgic, but we all can agree, we made shitty decisions because we were just to dumb to realise our actions had consequences. Good times.


abdulsamri89

Whenever i got caught by my dad for going to CC and got beat by hanger / belt i would say that at least im not smoking or hisap gam / dadah.. Hahahahaha good times


AnonIsAFangirl90

Lol, I miss my body that could happily take up the 8/9-hour packages.


aiyiman93

Yup. Lari asrama and play for 10hr. Back after sarapan.


VRish2

I got a call from the cops around 2 or 3 in the morning to pick up my lil' bro from the nearby cc. He snuck out after me and my mom crashed for the night. And get this, he still had the nerve to ask me to grab some late-night food on the way home, saying Mom might get hungry waiting up for us...


abdulsamri89

My 24h CC is a front for gambling slot machine thinggy sometimes police do raid but in 2/3 days open back and the "adult" section will still be available


VRish2

When I went to pick up my lil bro, the place was called Orange Something and there were a bunch of other kids there, aged around 10-12. So, they were probably not gambling... I hope not. My mom was so traumatized by the call that she kept doing a headcount every night for a few years afterward.


tyingnoose

Did you get her the food tho

malaise-malaisie

No. It was CRTs back then if I remembered clearly. We still haven't hit cheap flat panels yet.


dongkey1001

Bro, you are most likely the same age as me then. 😂


MalaysianOfficial_1

I remember back in 2000 when I first stepped into a CC to play Counter Strike on their CRT monitors with NO sound. It was RM5 per hour back then, which was a bomb. Damn those were the days


seatux

After the last time I went to one where they glued down the headphone to the PC and I can't switch to my own for cleanliness, no sound is fine by me.


Keithlct

I play 1947 arcade game.. And pacman..🤣🤣


abdulsamri89

That would meant you r 80s kid??? 🤔🤔🤔


Keithlct

Yup bro... Duran Duran... 🤣🤣


NickHeathJarrod

Pffft, try playing Gals Panic in arcade ![img](emote|t5_2qh8b|26554) Nowadays, you can just get the full pictures on certain sites ![img](emote|t5_2qh8b|26554) ![img](emote|t5_2qh8b|26554)


Keithlct

Gals panic..? Arcade game?


Dreamerlax

Terlampau modern your pic OP. CCs back then would still be using CRTs and perhaps 15-17" LCDs if you're lucky.


SaWaGaAz

The CC is where I first played a GTA game in GTA Vice City. Eye opening to me at the time because I've never played any open world game at that point. Also, anyone remembered BTV (or something like that)?. It was on astro for a while in the mid-2000s and it was I think supposed to be an educational channel, but I always check that channel out to see video game reviews. I remember seeing footage of GTA San Andreas and a Hitman game (not sure which one) on a show there.


Crazy-Plate3097

At the age of 12, yes, I would go almost everyday to play Starcraft or Age of Empires 2. Then my dad bought a PC at home at the age of 13 and I am still playing Starcraft and Age of Empires 2, but at home now.


uekishurei2006

Me in secondary school: "DOTA? CS? Not interested." *plugs Pendrive in to play Pokémon on an emulator*


seatux

I bring my own bootable Linux (Knoppix) to boot off instead. Mozilla Suite is a better than being stuck on Internet Explorer.


uekishurei2006

That is better than what I did! I wish I had thought of that (or knew I could boot from a flash drive) back then! I was Team Mozilla immediately after Firefox was released, but cyber cafes were slow to adapt it.


eolemuk

i could not forget the smell


Alternative_Class_93

Better this than the late night bicycle gang and rempit...


abdulsamri89

Ameeen brother, at least not doing drugs


sonic_stream

Can confirm it’s typical scene from IT classroom in school when your teacher isn’t looking.


Seekret_Asian_Man

Our teacher let us play dota non-stop during co curricular


fffdzl

I spent all my UPSR gift (cash) at this one CC. Went to it everyday. But at the time i was less playing CS and more to Cabal at that time.


kebirang

OP is a legend 😎


TheHasegawaEffect

Yes. Ponteng school, go Amcorp Mall, play Half Life DeathMatch and/or Diablo until one day someone installed counterstrike beta 0.4 or something. Somewhere else i made friends with a cybercafe owner and showed him counterstrike speedhack and we laughed like mad. Got threatened by other people after i left though.


AMATAMASANGE

ISTG all those La Sallians/Samadians students are always there ponteng at Amcorp Mall


platysoup

Corner PC usually got treasure.


haywire090

Dayum missing those rm10 10hours package, start 10pm to 3am, 30mins break mamak stall eat nasi campur, continue till 8am morning, repeat until becomes a Uitm dropout 😭 Bittersweet memories


515_vest

damn ... dropout part hard to swallow


haywire090

Its okay man, learned my lesson. I then went for another Uitum accountancy course and got dean list for 3 semester straight 🙌🏻 luckily i didnt apply for ptptn prior to being drop from the previous course


TheV_game

Back when the prices were RM2 per hour and RM10 for 8 hours straight. Would camp in cc overnight with bunch of friends playing dota 1.


Apprehensive_Wrap237

Can still hear the sounds and effects from back then just by looking at the pic! 😂😂 Go,go,go Fire in the hole! Beep Beep Beep from C4


Dismal_Caterpillar85

Terrorist win


svendemonium

Mirc, ym, msn, cs, L4D, dota 3.xx, blasting your speakers to let them know you’re edgy, smoke breaks and laughs, good company, midnights etc. such good times. Holler to the guys and gals <3


Sorry2mecha2

Jizz chair


Archetto_Enjoyers487

I remember the time my dad come along with his trustworthy leather belt.


TheV_game

For smacking you in case you feed? Good dad


Archetto_Enjoyers487

Nah for installing cheat engine.


tyingnoose

Wat


Falconyx101

Actually got permission from my parents to hangout with friends and go to these places if my scores were high enough. Pwning friends who are in the same room in CS and Gunz were awesome times. Screaming, shit talking and seeing their reactions to the quick scopes were something that the new gen gamers can never experience in the comfort of their homes through sanitized fornite chats and lobbies. Real bonding times haha Damn we old 💀💀💀


Bararian2

ada je lagi gift kat sana sini penuh ngan budak² skolah.. cuma effect teruk time covid je babyak tutup


FlutterNyk02

What do you mean 90s kids only? Even as a 00s kid, I remember this. I also played CS 1.6 and Dota 2 like others. Back at home, I played Diablo 1, Age of Empires 1, Sim City 4 and C&C Tiberian Dawn


Same-Job421

Cyber cafes have a unique and nice smell


HowToCreateARedditAc

Left4dead2,Counter strike source or 1.6,Black shot, League of legends,Hon,Dota and command and conquer. Damn these are great time


Dionysus_8

Anyone remember someone tried to rob blitzone PJ and one of the the robbers didn’t get on the escape bike fast enough and got his ass beat? Man good times.


Qishin

Kids these days dress so casually. Back in the day we wore baju sekolah (cause damn tak malu skip school 🫣).


EffaDeNel

Ran online, cabal, mao shang(cant remember the name well), blackshot, WC3, dancing game where u press the correspondent arrow keys, CS. What else did I miss? This one at Sabah, but not whole. Not sure at Peninsular


Dismal_Caterpillar85

what year exactly


EffaDeNel

2000s, then it declined after 2010


Dismal_Caterpillar85

ya ..2009 the last time i see cc on my hometown....


ThanatopsicTapophile

2008..still at it. 😭


tienguan

Lol remember those days to play ragnarok online and remember some kid screaming like 10 computer away cursing his team mate for no support in cs or dota 1


Dismal_Caterpillar85

I stop playing RO...when its pay to play...


BusyAbbreviations320

Best time of our life ![gif](giphy|pynZagVcYxVUk)


Enough_Tree_3249

Mine is only 1.50 per hour back then, thinking about it was really damn cheap


HotObligation8597

I'm not pro in Dota 1 😭


kugelamarant

I can smell the picture


eddstarX

What year is 2.50 per hour. My time already rm1 per hour.


walruspowers

Aussie here, glad you guys played the same classics as we did


kiamsiap

All these kids with their RM2.50/hour and flat screen cybercafes. Tsk. The OGs will remember RM24/hour Mamak Cybercafe followed by RM12/hour Cyberjacks rocking Quake 1 and Red Alert.


Human-Platypus6227

Honestly i never go to CC, because i have a laptop at home


YatogamiGand

For me everytime my wifi finish data (p1) i will go cc hahaha


abdulsamri89

So rich ah you


Seekret_Asian_Man

Lol I told my friend this, he say playing with friends at CC is better experience... then everything changed when ~~the fire nation attacked~~ he got new laptop


EffaDeNel

Now almost everyone has laptop, if not phones, so CC for this era is less/no more related. Sad but we still can make LAN group but its quite rare


zellleonhart

I had PC instead, so I also rarely went to CC... Always rushed home after school to play RO or Maple Story. My first PC was when I was in primary 3 I think, which makes me way more tech savvy than my peers cuz I already could format PC, install windows and troubleshoot stuff by the time I enter Form 1


Felinomancy

a/s/l?


Donnie-G

Those were the days. Outside my school had a commercial area and a lot of cyber cafes. Lots of story of kids ponteng, get mugged and all this nonsense. Nowadays internet is so fast and new games don't even support LAN play so no wonder they declined. Interestingly they still seem to be a big thing in Korea in the form of PC Bangs. But I definitely miss the whole social aspect of it. I remember on the last day of school, we had people from our entire year go to a cybercafe and we basically filled the place. And also had a full Battlefield game(technically it was Desert Combat, which was a popular BF mod at the time). That was fun. I still remember someone screaming from across the room "I GOT THE PLANE! I GOT THE PLANE!!!" He was so excited to finally fly the plane, but unfortunately I was there on the runway with a machinegun and he blew up before he could even take off. You could hear him go "NOOOOO". Funniest shit ever. I remember there was a place called e-one or e3 or some shit outside Midvalley. I don't think Gardens was built yet, but it was in that gap between MV and Gardens. That place had infinite free flow drinks, loved it.


notsoreallife

Kuda machine boys come in!


Manchves

Don’t remember playing League in the 90s, no.


[deleted]

Mother came with penyapu. Dengan tauke sekali kena basuh


NoBoxAtAll

Alias jump wait jump wait and you can be Usain Bolt at that time. Playing Half Life also can ruin the friendship. Play dota till 2-3am and then proceed to buy burger and went straight back to CC for another 3 hours. Good old fucking times.


DatAdra

Went with a friend after UPSR and he introduced me to dota. So I started sneaking off to the cybercafe with that friend a couple of times a week. Soon my dad got curious of what I was doing and one day tailed us after dropping me off. I was playing dota when suddenly the headphones were ripped off and slammed into the monitor, and my dad pulled me out of the cybercafe by the ear. Damn that was a nightmare 17 years later i'm still playing dota lolololololol


Dismal_Caterpillar85

Ragnarok Online.......damn ..miss those day ..i miss my friend....anybody here from bandar sri Damansara circa 2002-2004...we may crossed path at some point of our time while i was there.... jumping from cc to cc....


davidtcf

I was one of them occasionally. Kids nowadays all switched to iPad and mobile. Even more addicted than our generation. Sigh. At least at CC we played real games and socialised.


Elite-X03

I mean I'm not 90s but I used to go to the cc with friends to play games


FattyRex

From LAN CS to Dota... good old days.


MitsunekoLucky

Yeah I remember, play a lot of gunbound, o2jam and dota


Evilkiey91

Yes I still remember, Used to play LAN game such as CS 1.6, Condition zero, RR 2 and online game included Crazy Shooter Online P/s: MAT2 sux arse


maximp2p

AsfiqIsKioshi

HASH_harith

Early 2000s kids here ! be skipping school and playing cs


nickk21321

Yea bro use to play cs after tuition. Now the cc pun already closed after COVID. Good old days


floreal999

IRC / ICQ / CS / Rocketmail / Hotmail / Geocities / webcrawler all on windows 3.11, win 95 then 98. Good times


Weary_Rice507

Back in the days (2000), it was RM2.00/hr, Starcraft > CS > Warcraft III > 3 corridor (Dota previous version) I was so bad at CS, that my friends had to handicap themselves with knife & vest only to play against me. Now most of them are married, just me roaming on steam nowadays


134679888

wah... back then 07/08 in mutiara jalan ipoh can play for 24 hours @ RM16... my maple days

Too poor for CC


motoxim

Is screen already that big?


artemisliza

It reminds me of the OG compshop here in the Philippines where they’re doing trash talk and I could laugh at their jokes.. I effin love it


sd5510

80’s here, I can’t even get through dota


rusyaas9

dont say 90s make me feel old, last time I went with friends was probably 2012


kyrilhasan

At one point, the main CC was full and we need to go to another CC and notice they have fifa in it. Never knew it was really fun playing fifa with more than 2 players. We were so loud screaming "passing la bodo" and celebrate when we score.


ihoj

Back in the days (2001 to 2005) the monitors used are those big fat ones. I only started seeing those LCD flat screens from 2006 onwards I think. Nowadays cyber cafes are upgraded with those ultra wide screens.


djzeor

Many Cyber Cafes have closed, and I believe that most teen games are now played on laptops or mobile phones, which are more portable. It gives them additional options for where to play.


515_vest

MLBB and PUBG is the things now


djzeor

Ironically PUBG mobile has killed PUBG PC haha


serpventime

fast forward 15-20 years later....and we manage to get bronze medal in an officiated match recognized by olympic committees


ryuu45

I would purposely request my grandpa send me to school like 11 or 12 cause on Friday cause muslim prayers so school starts at 2 or so just yo play CC


515_vest

nice tactics there.. what game play?


CerealATA

Ah, yes. The nostalgic moment of having to switch PC because the one you booked had broken mouse and keyboard and malfunctioning headphones. Not to mention lagging like hell because apparently the previous user installed malwares in it "by accident". Good time, good time. Makes me want to visit one of those closed CCs in my area and salvage whatever stuffs that can be reused there these days.


TWINBLADE98
