The old school internet cafe thread, did you ever pay by the hour to game or browse

Before home internet was universal, or fast enough for online gaming, internet cafes and LAN centers were where a lot of people actually got their online fix, paying by the hour to play or browse. Any good memories from an actual internet cafe or LAN center

Spent entire weekends at a local LAN center with friends, splitting the hourly cost between us to make it last as long as possible
