Hot take: Geocities pages are a bigger pain to find now than they were to load in 1999.

I spent 3 hours trying to pull up a specific fan site for a forgotten PC game, only to hit dead links and broken image placeholders. Anyone know a decent archive that actually keeps the MIDI files and visitor counters intact?

The Wayback Machine sometimes gets the MIDIs, but those old guestbooks are basically digital ghosts now.

It's wild how much of that early web culture just vanished. Those guestbooks were full of inside jokes and random conversations that feel totally lost now. The Wayback Machine is amazing, but it's like a photo album missing half the pictures.
