Sorry if this has been posted before but if you go and click "show me more" 5-6 times on the Giantbomb main page and scroll down, it'll eventually say

"Click here for low bandwidth version"

and it's a link to a very old and archived version of Gamespot.com. Weird.

I learned about NBA Shootout and if it could compete. So that was worthless but great.

If you click on VideoGameSpot's link on the upper left, and then the about page on the left column, you can see that was back when Jeff was an assistant editor, and Greg Kasavin was an intern.

Ryan, Brad, Alex, and any other GB personnel hadn't even joined yet.

I found John Romero's DeathMatch Tips.

I've looked at old GameSpot before using the Wayback Machine but for I don't think I ever took the time to dig deep and explore all the links and site content. Furthermore I don't recall giving much attention to videogamespot.com at all. I'm about to fix that right quick because all of this is incredibly fascinating and I can't believe I didn't think to revisit the idea sooner.
