Old-Site of the Day: GEOS-InfoBase A German site about GEOS, since at least 1999. GEOS was an operating system for the C64 & IBM PC. It provided a GUI, but used fewer resources than Windows. Popular with C64 users in the early 80's, but the PC version was overshadowed by Windows, primarily because Microsoft had more influence over PC maunfacturers and software developers. It was avaliable till a few years ago as low-cost OS for under-powered computers. 443;82

Old-Site of the Day: Pokemon: Never Ending Story Euro-Asia Game Boy used to have this on their website, but they deleted it. Luckily, Platypus Comix archived the 1st page and reposted it years later.

3-8-18Old-Site of the Day: The Unofficial Nintendo Archive Info on Nintendo's game systems, online since 2001. The WayBack Machine only has copies dating to 2009. Sounds like it was revamped around that time; might've moved to a new URL. I wonder what it used to look like & where it was... Oh! the FAQ has an answer. It started on Tripod, moved to GameSpy, then moved to the new address in '09 when GameSpy stopped hosting fan sites. So that explains it.

3-7-18 Old-Site of the Day: ManderinTools.com Last night Gwtagacw pointed out this page. It's a collection of tools for folks learning Chinese. Here's what it looked like in '99. "Still uses frames," not that that's bad. Honestly, as soon as frames were labled as "bad" someone decided to use a half-megabyte of Jscript and CSS to re-invent them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Who Killed the Atari ST? A 1989 article on Atari's computers. One of the few places I could find to confirm the ST's ability to emulate Mac and PC environments. I can't find this site in the Wayback Machine before 2006, so it's not the Old-Site of the Day, but it is interesting. Keep in mind this is a 1989 article; the author doesn't know everything which was happening with Atari, all the problems they were facing.
Old-Site of the Day: rgshoup.com, in 2002 About SuperPaint, a computer graphics system designed by the author in the 70's while he worked for Xerox. Neat pics of the system. Now the domain's an asian blog of some sort.
