It's not what you want that matters, but how much of it you own ;-) I had to look up which game "Hypnospace Outlaw" was. I remembered playing it but initially couldn't recall anything else thing about it. It was the one that had a fake Internet that you had to surf. I was impressed by the depth of the simulation, but less so with the gameplay. Maybe it's because I don't have much nostalgia for the old web; probably because I wasn't a kid when it was new so it didn't have the same impact on me (that, and the 90s web was a movement away from the advertising free, academic internet I was familiar with; it was loud and brash and filled with a lot more nonsense; a step down in many ways, as far as I was concerned ;-)
