The Sims turns 25 in just a few days, and EA is out to make sure I feel old as hell about it. As part of its ongoing celebrations, which started earlier this month with a rather lackluster Behind the Sims presentation but has slowly been ramping up the goodies, the developer just dropped an atrociously accurate Y2K-style website dedicated to the first two games. Comic Sans and all.
I mean hell, even the URL is giving me major throwback vibes: www.the-sims-y2k.com. The dashes between every word is practically screaming early 2000s at me, but the thing I love the most is the fact that you quite literally have to type the "www." for the URL to actually work. You know, like the… old days? Try and type the address sans-World Wide Web and you'll be met with an error. It's such a small detail that I'm not even sure was intentional, but I really hope it is.
