Super Mario HQ is no more. Apparently, the guy who owned the domain decided not to renew it: RIP In Peace, SMBHQ - Video Game Forums

The Original Space Jam site's been taken offline: Welcome to the Webspace Jam - Internet Archive Blogs

No it isn't...they just moved it so they could use the URL to promote the new movie. It's still accessible from the main page.

Ah. I see. Here: Space Jam

Had to find it with google. Don’t know why it didn’t work when I typed the address in. Maybe it’s because I left out the ending slash.

Today I watched the AVGN video about the Amiga CD32 and the game that caught my attention (I'm interested in weirdly-made games) was Kang Fu. Upon searching for the developer's name (Greed) I discovered its website which seems to have been last updated around 1996. They also made other softwares for the Amiga, Kang Fu being the only game in the conventional sense.

Interestingly enough, the BBC archive their news articles, hence when you see an article from a past year, it's in its original form than an updated form.

Here's a 1998 article on the fate of the original Wembley Stadium's twin towers.

Disney Toy Story Virtual Alien Virtual Pet

Found a copy of One Saturday Morning taped off TV, which started with an ad for a Toy Story virtual pet. Looked it up, & this was on Google's front page.
