3 Websites You've Probably Forgotten About

I have a little sister (she's 7) and we were playing all these games on her tablet. One of them was about pets and it reminded me of one of my favourite websites I used to play on. It got me thinking about the websites I used to play on all the time when I was a young teenager and I felt all nostalgic and it brought back all these amazing and funny memories so I thought I'd give you a little reminder in the hope it does the same for you.

Behold, Habbo Hotel. This was without a doubt my FAVOURITE website from my teenage years. I was obsessed. I'd play on it at every moment I could. Loads of my friends played it too but I was Habbo master, I would use my mums phone to buy credits and give her the £2.50. I was rolling in the credits. I even used to buy those vouchers from the shop for like £10 that gave you loads of 'creds'.

I had so many rooms, full with furniture and all the latest limited edition items. I always played games and won things too because I was pro at 'falling furni'. And of course my habbo was hot as hell because I had all the latest clothes and hair styles. If I remember correctly I think there was some kind of club which you could pay for which meant you were so prestige. Of course I was in the club. I actually had to keep it on the down low how much of my pocket money I spent on Habbo credits because my mum would have killed me..

My username was Habbadabdob and I was so cool that people made habbos with the same username bar one letter different and pretend to be me. Like seriously I was Habbo pro. Habbo was my life. AWKS.

The Neopets phase came before the Habbo and Girland phases. It was more aimed towards younger children I suppose (although I did play on it a few months ago..) You basically had your own pet and you had to look after it and feed it and play with it, but the pets were SO cool. They weren't real animals, they were some weird damn things but they were cool. I much preferred those mini pets though, the ones that were pets for your pets? Who knows what I'm on about? I have a feeling they were just called petpets.

Omg, I've literally just remembered about the quests. I loved those things, especially the faerie ones because Faerieland was my favourite place. My favourite game was Rink Runner OMG who remembers the NEGG MONSTER. Is that what he's called? But you had to go and try and steal a Negg but he was always awake and tried to eat you.

Writing this post is bringing back even more memories and it's making me way too excitable.

Last but not least, Runescape. I feel like this was considered as more of a 'boys game'. Although clearly anyone could play it and I loved it. I think I enjoyed it because I could be a big meany but it was okay because it was all part of the game. I got to attack people and steal their money and get away with it. (No I would not do that in real life before you start getting worried!). I don't know if I've gone mad and made this up, but I feel like the characters made funny noises when they spoke? I don't know. I just loved the whole fantasy kinda thing.

I had so much fun writing this post. So many memories came rushing back and I just sat here typing away without thinking too much. It might be a bit rambly because I just took exactly what came into my head and put it straight down. I kind of like it this way though because I feel like I'm just having a chat.

I'd love to know if you played these games and if you have any cool memories of them! Also let me know if there's any other websites you used to play that I might have forgotten all about!

I hope this bought back memories and made you feel all nostalgic and lovely because that's how I feel.
