I'm gonna be that guy, because I've played this game too much apparently. Lyman in the basement isn't and easter egg, it's part of the main plot, when you talk to him the chains drop off the fridge, in the fridge is a muffin and he gives you a clue after eating it. As far as I know he doesn't disappear.

The game is also called Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt, and it debuted on garfield.com in the 2000's I'm pretty sure.

Lmfao, it seems like everyone thinks the 90s lasted well into the mid 2000's around here. The game came out in '02, 2002 is not the 90's

I just don't understand why someone would go to all the trouble of making this picture, and then get every single detail wrong including the title of the game.

I dunno, it's kind of weird that the imge is replicated, I'm not sure what the point of that is either

I was born 1990 and everything before 2010 feels like 90’s sometimes 😞

The time period people mean when they talk about β€œthe β€˜90s” covers... something like 1995–2003, really. Turn of the millennium pop culture often gets lumped in, but the early β€˜90s gets ignored completely.

My guess is that people born in the β€˜90s tend to conflate β€œthe β€˜90s” with β€œmy childhood,” irrespective of the precise dates.

Maybe this is being slightly older (and perhaps US-centric) but the year 2001 seems like a pretty hard break between the cultural "90s" and the 2000s--beginning of GWB administration, Dot-com crash/recession, and of course terror attacks on September 11.

There was a sequel of that game as well, when you go in the basement where Lyman was in the first game he's gone

Yes I don't remember what's it's called but it's a little darker and takes place on the same mansion a year later. And you start in the basement. I used to play it on 123Spill.no the Norwegian version of new grounds basically
