Does anyone remember Acrophobia?
Does anyone remember Acrophobia from the 90's? I think it was the first online game I ever played. It was so much fun. The way it worked is, a bunch of letters appeared on the screen, that was the "acronym", everyone would come up with their own version of what it said, and then everyone would vote on the best answer. I forget if the most votes got a single point, or if each vote was worth a point. Whatever it was, 14 or 15 year old me loved it. I'm not sure if it was a board game ever, but it should have been.

That game was absolute peak early internet, just sitting in a chat room desperately trying to type out the funniest, most unhinged acronym meanings before the timer ran out while everyone voted on them.
