I always love it when these super early game fansites stick around. I wonder how many of these sorts of originals are left? Two others that come to mind are Hamish Sinclair's Marathon story page and Splatterhouse fansite West Mansion.

My favorite Space Quest bit is the time travel in Space Quest IV and how when Roger Wilco travels back into CGA graphics everyone gives him guff about him now being VGA. Perhaps because it was one of best written bits of metahumor I'd encountered in a computer game. Congrats. That's special.

1. Congratulations! 2. I think the most impressive thing about this is that you've kept the same URL all this time. You didn't even update it to have it's own folder. Impressive.
