Pretty sure it was in middle school, so we are talking like 98-99. It was in the computer lab. Other kids were playing gerbils on the mac while I was surfing I think a world factbook site, I remember clicking on Japan because I was obsessed with catching DBZ on the morning cartoon blocks before toonami was a thing. Seeing girls in kimonos and the usual fluff about ancient honorable Nippon and Tokyo. What about you?
The first one was probably the official site (EA its in the shame) for extra content circa 1999? after I saw a showcase for it but that might as well be a dream from back then because I remember wanting it bad or maybe it was just a mod site.
