came here from the Webkinz subreddit, great video!! would also like to mention animal jam as another one of these games I spent way too much time with at a way older age than I'd like to admit

[tittlediddle]

Webkinz were actually sold at Walmart!!! That's where I got some of mine, but their selection was always limited.

Some people do actually still play neopets to this day and they will tell you that neopets inflation and neopets stock markets are very much real.

Roblox did irreparable damage to society, thay being said I had endless fun playing it back in the day

[cruisinagain]

i own both point and click club penguin games, i cant say its good, but it ignited my love for point and clicks

[TheAverageJoeYT]

The clip selection and topic at 8:06 omg Jeff LMAO

[GregCubed]

Lol on your point about Webkinz never being at mainstream stores, I still remember I got my first one at CRACKER BARREL 😭 why didn’t they sell them at Walmart lmfao

[sIungus]

note: roblox has still not improved their moderation yet

[remarkablewomenremembered]
