I went to an internet cafe a few times to play multiplayer mode of Warcraft 3 with my friend. I also paid to use a computer to go on the internet at a photo copy store for a few minutes.
Yeah, back in the early 2000s when I didn't have internet at home I used to go to internet cafes every other day to play video games and browse the internet. The games I played the most at that time were DOOM 2 and StarCraft.
I used it once. I don't remember why I couldn't use my laptop or desktop at that time...but I didn't have a choice and went to a computer center. It was a very bad experience and I don't intend to do it ever again.
