This Is What League of Legends Would Look Like in the 90s

In the trailer, we are taken back in time 20 years to the ‘90s. A teenage boy has received his first copy of LoL on floppy disk. He inserts his disk, dials up his internet service and uses the power of the world wide web to play with users across the globe. In actuality, the video glamorizes the old technology. In the ‘90s, a game like LoL would have come in a box set with multiple floppy disks; the player would have spent more time dialing up his internet connection than playing the game and the highly pixelated image would have rendered a barely discernible arena for player-on-player combat. Still, the video has all the necessary hyperbole of a ‘90s-themed advertisement. We imagine the game would have been marketed in a similar manner. We can just picture the late nights of gaming online with empty bottles of Surge scattered across the floor. We can dream, can’t we?
