Türkiye met the internet at the end of the '90s, but the real adventure began in the 2000s: internet cafés, mIRC rooms, the MSN nudge, downloads that dropped at exactly 99%...

This quiz probes the memory of that era: 10 questions, all of the kind that only someone who lived it would know. Some are facts, others are details that only someone who sat in those chairs will remember.

What the result tells you

Depending on how many you get right, you land on one of four levels. If your score is low, do not be sad — you got the internet ready-made, we got it while it was being built.

Yudum.NET is one of the sites left over from that era: we have been open since 1998 and the mIRC spirit still lives in our chat rooms. Drop by when you finish the quiz, there are plenty of people from your generation.
