could afford one back then, I owned a bootleg gaming console. [#india_famiclone]_ It was a
famicom/SNES/NES mix that had some weird releases that you didn't find in other
places. Some of the games were the usual ensemble, Super Mario Bros,

I don't remember getting all the episodes of DBZ, but it must have been after I
got a broadband connection at home. It was a measly 64kbps, but I remember that
it would take 37 minutes to download one anime episode. The episodes were 320p,
encoded with *rmvb* [#rmvb]_ back then. I got them from websites like freeza.nl and
encoded with *rmvb* [#rmvb_format]_ back then. I got them from websites like freeza.nl and
dbzfighters.com. The latter would become the first forum I joined online, where
I would have heated discussions with people I'd come to call friends. One of
them is still in touch with me today. We lovingly call you Bird Mountain Man.

.. [#toonami_ocean_dub] Cartoon Network India started airing Dragonball Z in 2000, and the original run was the same as the `Ocean Dub (Saban Dub) fiasco of the US. <https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Ocean_Group_dubs#The_Saban_dub_(1996-1998)>`_ So we only got the cut episodes from the Arrival of Raditz to Goku... a Super-Saiyan?
.. [#rmvb] Because of its low bitrate, and probably because of the presence of the Real Media Player back in the early 2000s, most anime was shared in the `RMVB <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMVB>`_ format. I remember going to buy a TV at a store armed with a thumbdrive with some RMVB files, to see if the TV would support it. Panasonic was the only one that supported it all.
