It looks half decent with higher res and color support. But really I'm not sure what you'd really want to do with 3.11
There weren't many games that were great for it, most of the game support went to DOS and then a little to 95 and really only started kicking in around 97-98 and windows 98 pretty much dominated that up until 2K was released which was more or less the best windows OS.

It really wasn't, it was like they tried ripping it off and made something 10 times better. First off there was no money involved, fuck habbo for that shit. Second you could write music and play it to crowds of people. Third there were all kinds of minigames that we're great.

I don't know, maybe I'm 2006ing out. I know I had a good time on it.

>>989036
But it is. There's not a single feature 4chan has that requires Javascript. Hence why it has a JS-less version.

Lots of sites use Javascript that don't really need it for any of the core functionality.

The WWW originally consisted of static pages (either static on the server or dynamically generated, see CGI and PHP), until Javascript came along and decided that script needed to be mixed with the markup and that sites need to do all kinds of stupid shit. It didn't have a single useful purpose until AJAX came along, and IFRAMES could handle a lot of what AJAX does.

Alas, I had BARELY any access to the web when I was a kid, on account of being dirt poor and also in a foster home. Thank goodness for friends without those problems. I went to ANIME.COM and downloaded CRYSTAL.ZIP for use on my borrowed 386.

I still have that screensaver. And I made a "retro-web" site. And the screensaver is up there on the downloads page. Look up "oldternet".

The first game I remember playing on the Internet was Celebrity Fist Fight, or at least I think that was the name. It was basically a tech demo for Flash (or "Macromedia Shockwave Flash," as they always used to write it out) with awful controls where you either clicked or pushed keys (don't recall) to box against digitized celebrities and mess up their faces.

I played it at a county fair Internet pavilion and thought it was the coolest thing I'd seen in a while.

I think the original version is long gone.

>>989106
Also, it wasn't until "Web 2.0" came into existence that JS became necessary for most sites to even function, because of stupid social networking cancer integrated deeply into every site.

I don't even use that shit; if I wanted to share something on Facebook or Twitter, I'll do it from Facebook or Twitter, not from another site.

The web as it stands now is a real pain-in-the-ass for anyone who likes browsing with old browsers (Netscape/IE4) or text-based browsers (lynx, elinks, etc). Hell, even modern computers can get bogged down with the overuse of JS on most modern web pages.

>>989115

Holy crap dude, I was craving that screensaver something horrible a few months ago.

1200 baud
That's pretty slow even for windows 3.11.
Even 2400 baud @ 14.4k Modem were out before 3.11
Though baud rates don't explicitly say what the data rate is. Even the C64 had 1200 baud modems.

>>989121
It's not a real webring, just an INCREDIBLE SIMULACRUM. Yeah, I know, sadness.

I'd update the site more, but I lack motivation to do anything. Also, my memory for the nineties is a blur, and I don't want the HOMEPAGE to be full of shit from the wrong years.

The pages on the archive load slower than they did when I used dialupternet.

worlds.com

>>989149
Ah, my idea was a bit different; it was to make a page about *slightly* more modern shit (I practically live in the 90s with my retrocomputing hobbies and tastes in gaming/movies/music) but do it in a very web 1.0 style.

>>989106
Sure you don't require inline quoting, any of the 4chan script, any of the grease/scriptish scripts, or the ability to use captcha or pointing at posts automatically, not having a shitty layout or autoupdating or anything of the things that make 4chan less shit to use. But it's atrocious when not using it.

>>989160
Both sites are far faster than dialup. Though I prefer using reocities anyway.

>>989118
Just go to Newgrounds and type "Celebrity *fillintheblank* " into the search field. If the exact same one doesn't come up, there are over nine million clones.

I don't see how coming to a consensus and verifying information into a single well cited source is sad. You can discuss shit with other people on wikis and even message and chat with them.
Fan sites can still exist for various reasons such as media, art and other non strictly informational resources. Fansites can host wikis too or have it as a communal project between multiple fan sites. http://zeldawiki.org/Zelda_Wiki:About
Kind of like that wiki is primarily sourced from six Zelda fansites.
I wouldn't actually want to talk to any Zelda fans, but the point is, it doesn't kill fan sites it just improves the quality and access to information.

Also, I miss Comics By Kids terribly. It's the reason why I'm so good at MSPaint art

I actually prefer his later AceSpeeder games, but technically not retro (2000-'01). My friends would come over to play AceSpeeder and we would try to beat each others times. They thought I was some wizard for being able to find obscure Japanese crap.

AOL proggies, such as pepsi and fatezero x. Then there was some game that was like a 2d second life. Lots of people had like wings attached to them and shit. Then there was dwango for doom and gamespy had some silly shit and tetrinet. Also for the people who mention bonus.com and battlefield someone revived the javascript it's back just google for it.

Yahoo chat finally got closed for good late last year. A hoard of wigger "mic-fighters", lonely housewives and angry teenagers likely got displaced.

Those kinds motherfuckers were EVERYWHERE. Weird people who take stuff waaaaay too seriously. During my edgy teen phase in the middle of last decade, I used to troll the fuck out of them.

I'd equate it more to an overhead view Space Panic. While you do bury enemies in all three games, Lode Runner's primary mission to grab gold. Burying guards is subsidiary.

Serebii dot net is still the same.

After ten plus years. Does Joe even have a life?

I know it falls a little bit past the "retro" deadline, but the old Sims 1 fansites were pretty awesome.

KillerSims stands out in my mind because it tried to be like a virtual shopping center, with different floors and elevator buttons and shit. It was really, really cool.

You don't see gaming sites (or really, any sites) try to do unique stuff like that anymore. It was all done with HTML and imagemaps, too.

The internet just isn't as personal/amateur as it used to be. Everything is "professional" now, and it really lost its charm.

yeah. it's a shame, really. back in the day you'd find a myriad of "joe's platypus site's" instead of a general platypus wiki. :/

>>994221
It wasn't just wikis that killed the small gaming site. It was pretty much all of the large sites and general gaming communities that started coming into existence.

It used to be, if you wanted a Quake mod/map, you went to the website of the person who made it, which was usually hosted on PlanetQuake, a community hub of sorts.

Today, if you want a mod/map for a game, you usually just go on GameBanana or ModDB and that's it. If you want info on a game, you just look at its wiki.

If you wanted to talk about a game in 1999, you went to that game's website and did so there. Today you go on /v/, reddit, NeoGAF, or something.

Also, I feel like it has something to do with the changing demographics and expectations of gamers. In the 90s, PC gaming was more of a nerdy niche thing, so lots of small amateur sites were okay. Normalfags don't want to deal with 100 different sites, and they tend to eat up Web 2.0 garbage like candy, so they flocked to the large gaming sites with a wiki/2.0 format.

The more "hardcore" PC gaming genres still have a lot of smaller active sites, like flight simulators. Seriously, check out the flight sim community. Even though it is small, there are still dozens of sites for each game/community.
