Well clearly not at a large scale, but the demoscene was a widespread phenomenon distributed globally where Internet was available. It was a Canadian friend who introduced me to them.

yes the website was called bit-slap, but it doesn't work anymore.. i downloaded and the mods, xms and sids from there though on my old lapotp

then i just went down the rabbithole. i already had interest in it from playing pokemon, super mario land and bros, etc. but i didn't know people made it for any other purpose other than videogames

Believe it or not, I first listened to mods recorded on cassette tapes in my car with a friend around 1996 or 1997.
