I was getting nostalgic one night while talking with some friends about "chatting" in the late 90's and how different it is from today. I poked around the web and found some emulators but they were all flat and focused on the nostalgia of the UI and NOT the conversations. Those were the best part!
So, I took it a step further and made BRB2K... and it feels like stepping into a time machine :o
You can chat with buddies and feel like you're back in front of your Compaq tower after school. You can even sign up and reserve your screen name from back in the day (hurry before someone else grabs it)! Download the app and you'll find minesweeper, a 90s trivia bot (loaded with 700+ questions), six default buddy personalities and the ability to create your own buddies and chat with them just like the good ol' days.
This started as just a fun project, but I hope you'll also find it special.
