After that cool MIDI thread in Riff-Raff, I was inspired to make a topic on those old websites that stood the testaments of time. Here, you can post websites that:

-Are 10+ years of age.
-Have remained almost virtually unchanged.
-Interesting websites to check out.

I guess I'll start out with this website:


http://www.warnerbros.com/archive/spacejam/movie/jam.htm

Space Jam: The infamous Looney Tunes movie from 1996, featuring Michael Jordan. For some reason, this 19-year-old relic still stands, without any update whatsoever. It's one of the more popular ancient sites people explore, and for good reason.

SUPER FAMICOM: A video game catalog from 1996-7. If you don't know what the Super Famicom is, it's basically the Japanese Super Nintendo. This site was used to advertise Nintendo Super Famicom games (From Super Mario World to the very last game, Metal Slader Glory). The site seems to have broken Japanese font, so I used the WayBack machine to fix these errors: https://web.archive.org/web/20151105170356/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/shvc/

Welcome to Netscape!: If you weren't born before or around 1994, I can almost guarantee you never heard of Netscape before. Before Internet Explorer became the standard web browser, you actually had to buy browsers from the store in physical form. Netscape was, at the time the most popular to use. Unfortunately, when Microsoft forced all Windows 95 users to install I.E. to their systems, they saw no need to buy other browsers, Netscape was literally killed off. And speaking about I.E….

Internet Explorer is EVIL!: Oh boy, one of the more well-known ancient websites. When Microsoft made its users install I.E, one customer wasn’t happy about the change, and made this website in 1998. In our current world, where most people now use more practical browsers such as Google Chrome or FireFox, I guess a majority wouldn't understand that old issue.
