Sliverstorms blog jogged my memory when he posted the screenshot above. I had visited GameRevolution, and on a very frequent basis in fact! Way back when, before my family had a computer in the home, I spent most of my library visits at the internet station, looking up cheat codes for my favorite games. I strayed from CheatCodeCentral and IGN and the other sites that existed at the time. Their databases were too hard to navigate. No, I was a frequent visitor of GameRevolution's. Pencil and paper in hand, I jotted down cheat codes every week and took them home to aid my way through games I was struggling with. In fact, GameRevolution's cheat pages still perform very well today, helping people unlock all of the weapons in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or assisting them with their iPhone games. How insane was it that I had actually been a diehard Revolutionary for so long?
How much did my situation say about the nature of GameRevolution on the internet?
I loved GR in those days, and I love GR today. No other website will bring you the attitude, information, and culture of video games like GameRevolution can. While we do our damnest to be the best, we're made better by YOU! If you've got a GR memory, drop it in the comments. If this is your first time here, register on the site, say hello below, or in the forums, or drop me a line at [email protected].
The normal, angry Revolutionary Rant will be back next week.
