JAZZ'S INTERNET EMPORIUM

Cool Websites

Here's some links to websites that I stumbled upon in my internet travels, and really like:

Old Web Inspired and Archived Websites

Wilby
Search engine for the old web

Cameron's World
If you're going to visit any website on this list, visit this one. It's truly my favourite website. It's like any on Geocities page on crack, ramped up, and super well deisnged with old and awful gifs. It's such a treat. Just keep scrolling down and experience all of its glory.

The Geocities Gallery
Geocities websites, categorised, and back up for your internet surfing pleasure.

One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age and the Tumblr version
Similar to the above link.

The Wondrous World's Guide To Ace Stuff
As I explored the Internet Archive, I stumbled upon this site that is a list someone made of stuff they like. Go check it out yourself and you'll see why I like it.

GifCities
This is where I got all my gifs from on my gif page. :)

Victoria's blinkies and animated gifs collection
An old Geocities page that has been archived. Lots of cute gifs and pixel art.

Sonny's Gif Page
A bit like I was going for with my gif page, except more organised and curated. A real blast from the past. I sure this website would have taken 4 minutes to load back in the day.

The Geocities Gallery and Geocities Archive
An archive of different websites and "neighbourhoods".

The Old Net
A bit like The Internet Archive, but user-friendly for a beginner.

Windows 93
This website mimics the look of a Windows 93 desktop.

Windows 96
Similar to the above!

Weird website name lol, but it's like the 2 above websites.

Squidfingers
High quality repeating background patterns.

The Yuckiest Site on the Internet
Archive of an old flash-based kids website for fun and entertainment, about all things gross.

The Kidz Page
An old website for entertainment for kids. The old clipart section is great.

Living life like it's the 2000s
This is a really cool page on another NeoCities blog.

Yesterweb Zine
This online zine ran for a few years until 2023, and it talks about the old internet.

Nekoweb
This is like a modern version of Neocities!

OoCities
Archived Geocities sites.

The end of town
Scroll down.

I don't even know what this site is about, but the gifs are pretty great. I stumbled upon these gifs of monsters when I was browsing GifCities.

A weird and wonderful webpage full of Gifs.

Everything 2000's.

Modern Sites/Other

Piracy rocks. This is a good starting point to learn about piracy.

ZenHabits
I don't know why, but sometimes I just get the drive to visit this website. It has bite-sized entries about, well, how to best live a zen life. I feel like it's easy to digest and understand, and implement.

WhatsMyName Web
A bit of internet stalking can be fun. This site allows you to enter in a username, and see what websites it exists on across the web.

Click the button, and be taken to a useless website.

This link will take you to the Australian based site.

Cute and cosy town building game.

Cybertown Revival
I never played the original Cybertown, let alone knew about it, but this looks like a cool project and I want to follow it.

Orisinal
I remember playing Orisinal games back when I was in highscool. They are really adorable looking and my favourite was Winterbells

Old Games Download
This site has been around forever and kicks ass. Don't buy games, emulate them where you can!

SIM Game
This game isn't good by any means, but it really showcases how crappy home made flash games were! It has its own charm, and the music helps.

Download over 700 free flash games!
I stumbled upon this site when I was browing the Internet Archive. How cool!

eXoDOS
This is a program you download, and it's as simple as running the app and selecting a MS-DOS game to play. It also offers MS-DOS related mags, newsletters and books.
