I'm curious if anyone else here used to watch Classic Game Room? For those who never heard of it, Classic Game Room was an online video, video game review show that started in 1999 and ended in 2000. In a sense you literally couldn't get more Y2k than that. The show was too ahead of its time however, since when it started internet connections weren't fast enough to handle online video well. So the series ended after around a year. But in around 2007/2008 the episodes got reuploaded to YouTube, and one of the cohosts rebooted the series under the title Classic Game Room HD. The new series was quite good as well, and even though Mark was doing a solo job, he managed to come across as really charismatic in his video reviews. His stuff was also refreshingly chill and laid back in an era where most video game reviews on YouTube were copying AVGN's shtick of yelling and screaming.
But I think the best stuff is from the original era of Classic Game Room from 1999-2000, because of the chemistry between the two hosts. One of their most popular videos (and my personal favorite) is their review of Seaman on the Sega Dreamcast, which was originally recorded on October, 2000:

Their parody "behind the scenes" documentary I also think is an underrated gem of pre-YouTube online video:
