-
A multi-hour documentary about bulletin board systems, the dial-up world before the web, with the companion site still up. Free to watch; worth every modem noise.
-
A preservation project for web games and animations from the Flash era and beyond: tens of thousands of titles, playable through a launcher.
-
GeoCities restored neighborhood by neighborhood: Area51, Heartland, SiliconValley, Tokyo. Browse the way it was meant to be browsed, by street.
-
The Internet Archive's search engine for GeoCities animated GIFs. Search 'under construction'. Search 'dancing'. Search anything; the results spin.
-
A hundred works of internet art from 1984 on, restored and explained. Pages that were weird on purpose, by people who did it first.
-
Screenshots of GeoCities pages, one at a time, posted for years. A research project that became a slow, endless slideshow of what people put online first.
-
A volunteer mirror of GeoCities pages, saved in 2009 before the lights went out. Navigation still works. Hit counters do not.
-
Thousands of industrial, educational and amateur films from the twentieth century, free to watch and reuse. The source of half the stock footage you have ever seen cut into something strange.
-
Type a URL, pick a year, see the page as it was. The internet's memory. Everything else in this category depends on it.
-
Screenshots of famous sites by year, 1991 onward, with timelines of how each changed. The Arcade's own history pages borrow its framing.
