It wasn't that easily available and took a lot of knowledge to make use of it. I racked up ~$300 in one month of hourly dial up internet on my parents credit card at that age in that era. Huge amounts of trouble. Mainly using Kali (software for emulating an ipx lan over the internet) and playing warcraft 2. Most games didn't have internet play as an option so you had to resort to things like Kali. Irc was fun too but all in all it was nothing like you know it today and it was a pain to get on and use.
