The Afterlife FAQ – this is vintage ’90s, when we put these massive text documents together.

I've run across this response to large repositories of text a couple of times recently, and I also have to step back from my initial annoyance and incredulity and remember that times change. "The kids" these days really do have no perspective on what it meant for information like this to have been put onb the internet at all, or honestly how nice it is for it all to just be there in searchable text.

At least this article simply offers up the guide as a resource, instead of a retrogaming Youtuber complaining that an old game had no online resources but reflexively rejecting a similar gameFAQ/walkthrough as a "wall of text" that he had no intention of reading. I occasionally like seeing younger folks exploring some of the games and systems I knew of first hand, but for that one I immediately moved on.

This was such an awesome game. It was like SimCity for heaven and hell.

I loved this game. Kept waiting on a DS port which could have been amazing.
