Celebrating 25 years working with MUGEN!

[O Ilusionista]

Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would reach this milestone: 25 years working with Mugen!

Unless I'm mistaken, today I'm the oldest programmer on the engine who is still active. Or at least among the 3 oldest, for sure.

I started in December 1999 (the engine was released in the middle of the same year), I saw many sites/forums/communities come and go - MugenBR, Pão de Mugen, MugenNow, TESTP, Charasoon, Oolong Mugen Bookmark... I miss old friends like Bea, Carnificina, Ex-Inferis, Juan Carlos (RIP) and some I still talk to today, like RyounWin... the list is huge and my memory is no longer the same

Wow, the first community I joined was the Mugen channel on IRC!

Things that didn't exist in 1999:
Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Streaming, Wikipedia, Alexa, iPhone, broadband Internet in Brazil, Google was only 1 year old.

Famous things in 1999:
IRC, Blackberry, RealJukebox, Winamp, ICQ

Things were definitely different than they are today, both in Mugen and in real life. In a few years, I'll be 50 years old and I don't know if I'll still be here, but as long as I'm having fun with it and have the health to do it, I'll be here

Thank you very much to all of you who have followed me so far!

And to celebrate this milestone, I'm updating my favorite Mugen work: Battle Stormer Classics.
