I was getting super nostalgic reading it, but when I started scrolling through these screenshots... my god, the memories just came flooding back. They all have a distinctly "warez" look, even though they are wildly different from one another.

Awesome link! I found one of my programs from back then! It was a 'baiter'. It would login to a few aol accounts, collect screennames from whos chatting lists. Then send them all instant messages with IMS_OFF setting off so a normal user wouldn't be able to respond back, only a aol employee. Then we would crack those screennames and do whatever it is we did back then lol. Mostly people used this for spamming though, it was one of the first released instant message spammer that could login multiple names. Hehe I miss those days! check out the intro art and interface. http://justinakapaste.com/sharkbait-v2/

Thanks for sharing this, just in awe at some of the screenshots and remembering high school all over again. How could I forget about Fate and the awesome artwork they always had! http://justinakapaste.com/fate-x-3-0/

An interesting blog post about those graphics and the cipher they used and how the developer was revealed. http://patorjk.com/blog/2012/05/03/cracking-magus-fate-zero-...

Oh man, FateX 3.0 was my jam! Thanks for linking directly to that.
