I remember I started playing league in season 1. I was only 14 years old... Man I remember that I loved the "Seasons Maps" I don't know why there isn't a Christmas Map or Halloween Map anymore. Also loved 3vs3 Twisted Treeline in Halloween. To think that there are players that will never know about those maps because they were too young back in the day. Above all I think I loved season 3-4 of LoL, when they first implemented the League System in ranked and the game started to become a world hit (also loved those seasons because they were the tank seasons).
I belive there was a talent which made you gain +5 AD and AP if you have ignite on cooldown. I remember I used to fire off ignite first moment possible so I could gain some damage. Good times
I still remember when I started playing League and I'd hear "30 seconds until minions spawn" , my heart would start pumping fast and id get very anxious like im going into war, lol. It really felt medieval and the games were super exciting
The extra fog of war and the general spooky ambience during this event was honestly great, I want them to bring this back tbh. Summoners rift events that change up the map like this and the snow version of the map were awesome

@@Eaglelioncourt Exactly! LoL used to have that dark fantasy theme in general, but it has been completely scrapped in favor of skinn selling anime girls and boys. Now even the horse (hecarim) has abs and every female character is meant to be attractive, and the general game has a more bright tone to it. I really miss that old League of legends, even though now it's actually somewhat better gameplay wise (people that says otherwise are talking by nostalgia, the gameplay is better now... The thing that's worse is the theme, that it's a crash grab. But then again, can't complain about that, the game is free)
@@lukazgarza4075 when I first joined (during poppy rework) I thought the old map was the latest one and that I downloaded the wrong version. Older map looks way better and more immersive. I love nighttime environments. Also duo melee bot is so much funner than the regular ADC/Sup combo. Older theme is worse though.

Gives me massive nostalgia even though I was more into 3v3 and dominion. Every now and then I will listen to the 2011* Halloween intro with surprise fiddlesticks in the login screen. My god this game was/is such a big part of my life. We going to be 80 yrs old remembering this game 😢
@@arielperez797 the amount of time we sat in the login screen just to listen to the music & watch the animated screen 😂😭 then you put your info in & server's full so you now have to wait 🤣
what I love about this, is that champions had simple interactions back then. The champion kits from this season is super simple, but yet more than enough to make a competitive game.
Imagine you threw an Aphelios into this match, absolutely wild. One of the reasons Irelia and Kassadin were so strong back in the days, mobility was kinda rare, complicated kits didnt exist... Good times
Its already enough how Jarvan can move forward and lock people with himself in a kind of arena. I like how simple and risky that is. He cant just dash 4 times, becomes invisible then do a shit ton of damage while dodging everything like reworked Akali does. It just breaks the game... No matter how good at the game it makes you look like, its still unfair for the poor Annie player that can only flash + R you every 5 minutes.

It was fun being able to talk trash without chat ban. People would say some really funny stuff. Now we have to walk on egg shells it really takes away the fun.
God that old map is so visually creative. It seems like so much heart was put into the lighting. They could’ve went the generic route and made it all green but it has that nighttime feel where all the lights are orangeish-red and its super cozy and cool. They should really add custom maps into the game.
this is incredible. an hd recording of the first days of league... usually when i try to find gameplay i only find 144p like footage.. i loved it so much the game feels way more alive than nowadays, where its so soulless and just full tryhard, almost like a job
@@jordimg7727it's cause this is the old Halloween map. Which was a lot darker and leaned much more heavily into those medieval themes. OG normal map was kind of color vomit tbh. Nostalgic for me but I really wish they would bring back seasonal maps because this Halloween map and the old Christmas one were very good.
I miss this version of league so much. The hours spent having fun on this map, and queuing for twisted tree line while I waited for my friends to log on.
You just reminded me a sad memory that Twisted Treeline existed and doesn't anymore :(. It was the most fun I had in League hands down. I was 1/3 of a 3 person best friends group. And shit did we have fun, both losing and winning in 3v3 some of my best memories of online gaming ever. P.S. I mained AP Sion, shit was so fun
So nostalgic watching this in 2024. I remember last year of highschool getting eager to play this game with my friends. Nobody really knew what they were doing and jungle was a myth. Good times.
It used to be so exciting and fun to play league during this time. I was noob back then but amount of fun I had with people I liked spending time with was immense.
ahhh... season 1, a wholesome age of discovery such that there was no reason to flame anyone, because there was no meta yet. I'd give so much to go back to such simpler times.
I fully agree tbh. Looking at this made me really think back to when there wasn't some huge sense of urgency in every moment of the game. Now that there's all these champs with tons of mobility and insane carry potential, topped off with the degree to which gameplay and pacing has been optimized. It just makes for a rushed experience the entire time, it's hard to stop and appreciate anything that's going on when you have to rush to the next objective or push for some advantage every single second of the game. I miss the good ol' days when mobility was limited to a select few champions, and everyone was still generally floundering around trying to figure out what they were doing so everything was way slower paced.
@@0927kira No, it hasn't. Pings still existed even from the release of the game yet they didn't inspire such toxicity. Take off your anti "nostalgia" glasses
@@XS_GamingNo today's players are 5x stronger than 13 years ago players. Even pro players say that a 2023 pro player is much more strong than a 2015 pro player (equal age, time of playing etc.)
season 3 is still the best season for me. Almost all the boys in school played it, formed a team, challenged other classes. It was fun back then, currently I still play it every late night but not enjoy anymore, I and my friends just don't know or don't like which games that fast, fun, not time consuming to play together. Btw thank you Riot.
Bro Pre Season 1 was the best. Taric+ Garen bot lane was insane, and a semi stacked sion was a literal god back then . Gave Sion Leviathan, Warmogs, Force of Nature, and some Armor Item, and he was unkillable, like literally. And just 1 atmas impaler with phantom dancer would make him an unstoppable killing machine
The year is 2023, 12 years after this video were uploaded. It feels nice to see how the game looked back in the days when I first started playing compared to now. Thank you for making this video!
It's super impressive how much content is still in the game, I imagine that some of the boots items in the store were redrawn almost exactly the same but in higher resolution or slightly cleaner. But still, the amount of SFX that are the same and still work well to this day. it's pretty insane how distinct that stuff was to still be relevent.
bruh this makes me so nostalgic :( back then my most favourite feature of the game was the ability to honor an opponent for their sportsmanship and it also made the community so much more friendly back then
I just miss when games just didn't have smurfs and account sellers rampant now every game your facing probably 4 smurfs and 1 unlucky new player who will be flamed.
@@Soggywafflecakes well thats mainly becuz back then the game was still new so there werent many accnts high enough with skins to be sell worthy in the 1st place. and the accnt selling business wasnt a thing back then
@@Soggywafflecakes Boomer moment, nobody was less lazy back then it was a brand new game and even if there were account sellers it was much less accessible as was literally anything on the internet. And if your games are comprised of nothing but smurfs and new players you're just really bad
I've only recently gotten into League, and I honestly am SHOCKED that this is what the game looked like! It's like... reminiscent of what it is today but so very different. Specifically I think it's kinda funny that the graphics, animations, and UI are all wildly different, but the many of the sounds are the exact same.
Few pvp games have existed as long as league without any sequels. It’s interesting to think about how many small individual updates has changed the game from this to what we have today
Same announcer, same ping sound, same general UI. When you rly think about, very little has changed from the base game, just a million tweaks over the years .
@@FloofersFX it seems like you didnt play back them, there were plenty of bugs and it was easier to exploit the game. It was still really good, s1-s3 were my favourite. Also miss the 3v3 mode :(
I started playing in 2016, me and my friends loved playing twisted treeline and even now we wish we could've played old rift. The map looked so good and easy on the eyes unlike new rift.
I like how the annie calls j4 the f word in chat during a 20 minute clip from one of the earliest ranked games on youtube. Its almost like toxicity always has been present in the game.
@@exodus1055 it didn't shutdown, riot literally harassed the developer. So even if what they did was legal, Riot never liked the idea of having a classic lol.
Man I miss this map. The "new" map, the new one that's been out for a decade now, looks much better but something about the old style is just really chill and viby. I miss being very confused and scared of it being 5 players on the enemy team all the time
Caralho, que saudades. Nessa época minha única preocupação era não jogar league até tão tarde porque tinha que ir pra escola de manhã cedo. Amava ficar o dia inteiro jogando com meus amigos. Hoje nem nos falamos mais…
isso sempre acaba acontecendo, é doidera.. temos que ser gratos por momentos assim, que foram únicos e só a gente sabe como é e torço por sentimentos e momentos únicos para todos nós novamente!
I remember these days with such good memories. Teemo top lane with a double phantom dancer infinity edge bloodthirster and Hextech gunblade build. The game was so much more fun when nobody had any clue what they were doing and no meta had really been developed yet.
So nostalgic, damn!! I miss this league. 7:17 fortify summoner spell, omg. i used to play rammus with it and my strat was to lure my enemy near the tower, taunt and use it, was fun af.
oh how far the game has come. I was literally so hooked on this game I flunked out of college. obvoiusly all my fault, but damn it makes me feel nostalgic in a good and bad way.
Noticeable differences: -No jungler -Guy barely uses TAB -Fortify summoner spell -No pings (only enemy target) -Music was different -No flash -Cho'Gath Q area doesn't appear on floor when cast -Old silent sound effect when Cho'Gath W -Health bars are all the same color -Cannon creep goes the last in the row (Currently it goes in the middle) -People were already flaming each other in all chat
I was kind of jealous how good the lobby is. They were genuinely communicating and having friendly banter with the enemy team. It may be an entirely different game.
I started in season 2. Brings back so many memories! Draven used to have a bleed passive (actual blood brother with darius). There was no meta. Any champion could play in any lane! Good times
@@samjoobarely... I remember being in a game where we played duo top (xin zhao and amumu) with Jax mid and Tristana/Alistar bot. Jungle was a bonus, not a role. Other team had shaco or some weird shit, solo bot 😂 Season 2 ranked was crazy. But tbf, it was bronze ☹️
S2 definitely had a meta even if there was more champion freedom than later seasons. People already spammed their role in the lobby (there was no role pick) and they were already trolling games if they didn't get the role they wanted. Evelynn was borderline unplayable back then for months after they nerfed her release version, so people just picked her and runned it down. The modern meta started between the summer break of S1 and S2 when M5 showed everyone how to counter-jungle and dominated every team, that made having a jungler mandatory and you needed early scaling solo mid-laners and top-laners to win 2 v 2 with your jungler so AD carries were pushed out of solo lanes into the bot lane with a support. By early S2 everyone in soloQ was already copying that playstyle except the depths of low LP
@@teamspeak9374 you're mixing times now. when M5 started their counterjungle, it was in the middle of s2 during iem katowice and meta had been established way before. There was meta already in S1 tournaments
I guess balancing issues were a problem too back then lmao Jokes aside, this is absolutely amazing. To see how this game has evolved throughout the years is phenomenal.
The essence of the real internet days, before the SJW agenda took over in 2015 and now you can't say anything anymore. Never thought that the other people born from 1990+ would push the censorship the way they are doing since 2015. Sad times, I'm glad we lived through the first internet days where people were actually free to google stuff without getting the same 10 results on every site lol
Idk maybe it is all about nostalgy but i liked that time. Many champs had very unique playstyle, later seasons they started changing it to make it more "balanced" but they actually was taking away most typical playstyle from the champion.
Awww back in the days ... love it so much In season 1 and season 2 i dont wanna play rankeds cuz i was so "bad". In season 3 i only played twisted treelines with 2 friends. We hit Gold and felt like the best players ever 😂 Good old days ❤

@@producedby3am344 thank you for the advice.
this video right here is why we should have a legacy server for old seasons.
what I love about this, is that champions had simple interactions back then. The champion kits from this season is super simple, but yet more than enough to make a competitive game.
Imagine you threw an Aphelios into this match, absolutely wild. One of the reasons Irelia and Kassadin were so strong back in the days, mobility was kinda rare, complicated kits didnt exist... Good times
add old akali
@@officialquate1341 man I YEARN for old akali. Her latest rework made me stop to play league
people were bad back then of course the interactions were simple
Its already enough how Jarvan can move forward and lock people with himself in a kind of arena. I like how simple and risky that is.
He cant just dash 4 times, becomes invisible then do a shit ton of damage while dodging everything like reworked Akali does. It just breaks the game... No matter how good at the game it makes you look like, its still unfair for the poor Annie player that can only flash + R you every 5 minutes.

God that old map is so visually creative. It seems like so much heart was put into the lighting. They could’ve went the generic route and made it all green but it has that nighttime feel where all the lights are orangeish-red and its super cozy and cool. They should really add custom maps into the game.
it's like being an music festival in a forest on acid, god I miss the old maps. This one in particular.
This is a halloween special. The regular map looks generic af :D
There are custom maps, it’s just client side though. I miss the seasonal map changes however
@@blackbird8837 oh really? I saw this map a ton back when I first joined. The original map is still pretty decent and colorful though.

Get a life lol
this is incredible. an hd recording of the first days of league... usually when i try to find gameplay i only find 144p like footage.. i loved it so much the game feels way more alive than nowadays, where its so soulless and just full tryhard, almost like a job

I really miss that old map... I think it's more "medieval" and fantastic, how the world of league of legends is.
my exact thoughts, it had more haunted/bewitched vibes
Welp things gotta change mate.
@@ElonMasksdoesn’t mean the change is better unfortunately
Changed into a bland map that has no unique or strong vibe to it.. The only thing I like in the new map is the Gromp area with the mushrooms.
@@jordimg7727it's cause this is the old Halloween map. Which was a lot darker and leaned much more heavily into those medieval themes.
OG normal map was kind of color vomit tbh. Nostalgic for me but I really wish they would bring back seasonal maps because this Halloween map and the old Christmas one were very good.
I miss this version of league so much. The hours spent having fun on this map, and queuing for twisted tree line while I waited for my friends to log on.
lmao
sounds like you were severely depressed
rip twisted treeline 😫 i remember my friend who got me into league would say to queue in 3v3 bc rift took too long for him lol
You just reminded me a sad memory that Twisted Treeline existed and doesn't anymore :(. It was the most fun I had in League hands down. I was 1/3 of a 3 person best friends group. And shit did we have fun, both losing and winning in 3v3 some of my best memories of online gaming ever.
P.S. I mained AP Sion, shit was so fun
OG twisted treeline was such a mood, god i miss old league.
And 10 years of playing I came here where it started...
Classic 2-1-2.
Oh boi... I missed the good ol' days again.
Yeah m2👍
Old league was the best. Everyone just played, having fun. It was the best time I've had in any video game in all of my life.
@@CrystallizedSoul same bro I think the last fun I had was in season 5.
So nostalgic watching this in 2024. I remember last year of highschool getting eager to play this game with my friends. Nobody really knew what they were doing and jungle was a myth. Good times.
I think the riot devs should watch this to appreciate what made the game what people wanted to play, not just playing to justify some cost
The riot devs that made this game are long gone. The current devs have ruined this game.
lmao you are talking like Riot has any control on that. Its Tencent that dictates where the game goes, long live our chinese overlords

its crazy seeing the playstyle then vs now. Gotta love that early ignite by annie.
She did it again as soon as it was off cooldown. 🤣
Indeed, the only thing I don't miss about that is being able to ignite the damn minions
Those times there was a rune which granted like 10-20 AP when ignite was on cooldown, but Annie didn't use it for some reason.
my friend would ignite minions in the jungle lol! I would too tbh, fun times season 1 and 2
@@MRkriegs Oh man indeed they were
It used to be so exciting and fun to play league during this time. I was noob back then but amount of fun I had with people I liked spending time with was immense.
ahhh... season 1, a wholesome age of discovery such that there was no reason to flame anyone, because there was no meta yet. I'd give so much to go back to such simpler times.
It's so simple and peaceful, no non-stop pinging and emoting, just living in the moment, I miss this tranquility.
oh ffs take off the nostalgia glasses
yes, ping is used to bm, but it has brought more good than bad
"Peaceful" Meanwhile: 7:13 be like
I fully agree tbh. Looking at this made me really think back to when there wasn't some huge sense of urgency in every moment of the game. Now that there's all these champs with tons of mobility and insane carry potential, topped off with the degree to which gameplay and pacing has been optimized. It just makes for a rushed experience the entire time, it's hard to stop and appreciate anything that's going on when you have to rush to the next objective or push for some advantage every single second of the game.
I miss the good ol' days when mobility was limited to a select few champions, and everyone was still generally floundering around trying to figure out what they were doing so everything was way slower paced.
best communication at 6:55
@@0927kira No, it hasn't.
Pings still existed even from the release of the game yet they didn't inspire such toxicity. Take off your anti "nostalgia" glasses

season 3 is still the best season for me.
Almost all the boys in school played it, formed a team, challenged other classes.
It was fun back then, currently I still play it every late night but not enjoy anymore, I and my friends just don't know or don't like which games that fast, fun, not time consuming to play together.
Btw thank you Riot.
Wanna play?
Season 3 was legendary. After season 4 is just downhill. I miss so much the season 3/4 league...
Get diablo IV u won't be disappointed
Bro Pre Season 1 was the best.
Taric+ Garen bot lane was insane, and a semi stacked sion was a literal god back then .
Gave Sion Leviathan, Warmogs, Force of Nature, and some Armor Item, and he was unkillable, like literally.
And just 1 atmas impaler with phantom dancer would make him an unstoppable killing machine
i play only blind picks, i find all the chill people who don't care about which lane they play join there just for fun
The voice lines,map, and general feel back then was so much like its inspiration warcraft 3 footman. Very nostalgic
The year is 2023, 12 years after this video were uploaded. It feels nice to see how the game looked back in the days when I first started playing compared to now. Thank you for making this video!
It's super impressive how much content is still in the game, I imagine that some of the boots items in the store were redrawn almost exactly the same but in higher resolution or slightly cleaner. But still, the amount of SFX that are the same and still work well to this day. it's pretty insane how distinct that stuff was to still be relevent.
"yup and not only that...first time jax" love to see some things never change
This brings me back! Love this
5:30 i love how he wants to ignite her but the auto attack does it
bruh this makes me so nostalgic :( back then my most favourite feature of the game was the ability to honor an opponent for their sportsmanship and it also made the community so much more friendly back then
I just miss when games just didn't have smurfs and account sellers rampant now every game your facing probably 4 smurfs and 1 unlucky new player who will be flamed.
@@Soggywafflecakes well thats mainly becuz back then the game was still new so there werent many accnts high enough with skins to be sell worthy in the 1st place. and the accnt selling business wasnt a thing back then
@@H3xCore true also people were honestly less lazy back than. Now everyone wants to find easy jobs that don't require them to leave home.
@@Soggywafflecakes Boomer moment, nobody was less lazy back then it was a brand new game and even if there were account sellers it was much less accessible as was literally anything on the internet. And if your games are comprised of nothing but smurfs and new players you're just really bad

Oh my god.... Nostalgia... I started playing League in 2010 and still playing it. Shyvana main for ever
Love it , even 12 years ago , ppl play champions for the first time and go in rank to test it , same like today....
I love watching old league. The nostalgia hurts good
awwwwwwwwwwww
Close your eyes
I've only recently gotten into League, and I honestly am SHOCKED that this is what the game looked like! It's like... reminiscent of what it is today but so very different. Specifically I think it's kinda funny that the graphics, animations, and UI are all wildly different, but the many of the sounds are the exact same.
Yeah, I've been playing for 6 years by now and this feels like the same game, just with a lot less polish
The more I watch this the more I'm convinced this match is basically modern iron/bronce but with a different skin xdd
Few pvp games have existed as long as league without any sequels. It’s interesting to think about how many small individual updates has changed the game from this to what we have today
Bro, I'm not even a League fan but the aesthetics of the game, the music, the announcer, the sound, it looks AMAZING!!!!
Same, the old LoL has the similar aesthetic as the good old Dota 1
Oh yeah this game was really good back then, it's not even about nostalgia it was just better in many ways
Same announcer, same ping sound, same general UI. When you rly think about, very little has changed from the base game, just a million tweaks over the years .
@@MrIndman and a million bugs introduced, a fraction of those actually fixed, the back then of stable game and launcher days are long gone
@@FloofersFX it seems like you didnt play back them, there were plenty of bugs and it was easier to exploit the game. It was still really good, s1-s3 were my favourite. Also miss the 3v3 mode :(
Why was this recommended 12 years later??
First item "The Brutalizer" is enough to make a veteran shed some nostalgia tears.
I started playing in 2016, me and my friends loved playing twisted treeline and even now we wish we could've played old rift. The map looked so good and easy on the eyes unlike new rift.
I stopped 2016 lolz
I miss twisted treeline...
This video must be preserved and taught in history classes for future generations
I like how the annie calls j4 the f word in chat during a 20 minute clip from one of the earliest ranked games on youtube. Its almost like toxicity always has been present in the game.

there was a client with old league, literally the old game but it showdown 1 or 2 years ago
@@exodus1055 it didn't shutdown, riot literally harassed the developer. So even if what they did was legal, Riot never liked the idea of having a classic lol.
Even though I didn’t know wtf league was 12 years ago. This feels very nostalgic. the music and graphics and everything just makes it so alluring
Makes me nostalgic for warcraft 3. Map looks like it was made in the blizzard map maker.
Man I miss this map. The "new" map, the new one that's been out for a decade now, looks much better but something about the old style is just really chill and viby. I miss being very confused and scared of it being 5 players on the enemy team all the time
That chat. Good to see some things from season 1 are still with us in 2024

isso sempre acaba acontecendo, é doidera.. temos que ser gratos por momentos assim, que foram únicos e só a gente sabe como é
e torço por sentimentos e momentos únicos para todos nós novamente!
aposto que você parou de falar com eles por causa do league jogando ranked juntos kkkkkkkk
I remember these days with such good memories. Teemo top lane with a double phantom dancer infinity edge bloodthirster and Hextech gunblade build.
The game was so much more fun when nobody had any clue what they were doing and no meta had really been developed yet.
6 sunfire cape Twitch and Evelynn, full AP Yi and Sion...
So nostalgic, damn!! I miss this league. 7:17 fortify summoner spell, omg. i used to play rammus with it and my strat was to lure my enemy near the tower, taunt and use it, was fun af.

-No jungler
-Guy barely uses TAB
-Fortify summoner spell
-No pings (only enemy target)

-No flash

I started in season 2. Brings back so many memories! Draven used to have a bleed passive (actual blood brother with darius). There was no meta. Any champion could play in any lane! Good times
Season 2 already had meta if you were playing lvl 30 games or ranked
@@samjoobarely... I remember being in a game where we played duo top (xin zhao and amumu) with Jax mid and Tristana/Alistar bot. Jungle was a bonus, not a role. Other team had shaco or some weird shit, solo bot 😂 Season 2 ranked was crazy. But tbf, it was bronze ☹️
@@accipitermagna7104 i mean you answered yourself, even today, and for the rest of time there will be no meta in bronze
S2 definitely had a meta even if there was more champion freedom than later seasons. People already spammed their role in the lobby (there was no role pick) and they were already trolling games if they didn't get the role they wanted.
Evelynn was borderline unplayable back then for months after they nerfed her release version, so people just picked her and runned it down.
The modern meta started between the summer break of S1 and S2 when M5 showed everyone how to counter-jungle and dominated every team, that made having a jungler mandatory and you needed early scaling solo mid-laners and top-laners to win 2 v 2 with your jungler so AD carries were pushed out of solo lanes into the bot lane with a support.
By early S2 everyone in soloQ was already copying that playstyle except the depths of low LP
@@teamspeak9374 you're mixing times now. when M5 started their counterjungle, it was in the middle of s2 during iem katowice and meta had been established way before. There was meta already in S1 tournaments
I guess balancing issues were a problem too back then lmao
Jokes aside, this is absolutely amazing. To see how this game has evolved throughout the years is phenomenal.
This looks much more fun than as the game is today.
Considering how Huge league is as an esport today, this is literally a piece of history.
3:30 awwww look at him trying to use ignite thats the most adorable thing ive ever seen

Back when nobody knew Mechanics/Outplays and playing bad was considered Normal 😁

Actually, the essence of old society
Back in simpler times
The good ol' gamer salt. It's gone now because of the stupid censorships
The essence of the real internet days, before the SJW agenda took over in 2015 and now you can't say anything anymore. Never thought that the other people born from 1990+ would push the censorship the way they are doing since 2015. Sad times, I'm glad we lived through the first internet days where people were actually free to google stuff without getting the same 10 results on every site lol
gamers being gamers
Idk maybe it is all about nostalgy but i liked that time. Many champs had very unique playstyle, later seasons they started changing it to make it more "balanced" but they actually was taking away most typical playstyle from the champion.
Shaco flaming Annie has me dead lmfaoo. Game has never changed
Man this game looks so fun and it's only Season 1. I can't wait to try. I don't wanna be late to the party.
Are you joking, if not it's in season 14 now
This feels like something ancient hahahaha. Thank you for recording this my dude. Feels sureal that this is was league liked like all those years back
Awww back in the days ... love it so much
