.hack for the PS2, where the Internet was just an application called "The World" that you launched from a desktop. Damn, need to play that again.
Edit: I missed the image in the post originally, had no idea I was literally copying OP, lol. My bad.
This post and your comment gave me nostalgia overload. I lived in a rural area growing up in the late 90s and early 00s and I was absolutely infatuated with the internet and things like the .hack games that emulated being connected. Played soooo much of that game
I miss the .hack universe. Surprisingly, one of few anime/JRPGs I ever got into. Sword Art didn’t do it for me. I hope it gets revived at some point.
I'm still holding out for the remake that won't ever happen. I really like the ./hack series but the combat in 1-4 is really clunky, even for something that's pretending to be a tab target MMO. Dual daggers will forever be my favorite character weapon archetype though.
