Online games have always been popular in Indonesia since the early 2000s along with the rise of the internet culture. These games allow people to meet others online. Those who used to exclusively play games on consoles like the PlayStation or Nintendo started to switch to PC online games and would spend hours at internet cafes.

There were so many online games released at the time, from a wide array of genres. Some of these games are simply timeless and still fun to play to this day. With that in mind, on this occasion, Dunia Games would like to take you down memory lane with the 15 old-school nostalgic online games. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

3. Seal Online

This online game was a hit at internet cafes in the early 2000s. While Ragnarok had a 2D model, Seal Online offered a 3D model. It also featured adorable characters that accompany your adventures in the world of Shiltz. Unfortunately, this game was closed in 2017 after 11 years.

4. Emil Chronicle Online

This game, which had some affiliation with Ragnarok Online, offered 3D visuals too. This game can make you competitive, especially since, in this game, the combination of various classes is very important.
