The Archive is absolutely a worthy cause. Most people know the WayBack machine (although I wonder how many know where the name comes from), but that's not all the Archive's got. Music, Audio, Video, so much incredible content.

And that's not to mention their software library. Sketch (Jason Scott) seems to be the driving force behind it. As much as it's backed by ugly hacks (emulators compiled to JS. Yuck) it's pretty magical to be able to boot up, say, Fantasy World Dizzy in a web browser, and just play it, no install required.




It's hard to reconcile "ugly hack" and "magical".

All magic is ugly hacks!


Fair enough.

Anyways, thanks for uploading Fantasy World Dizzy. Now I can experience the horror the same way that the children of the '80s and '90s did.
