Have you been able to find any of it in the internet archive?

I was actually expecting this question. I have spent several hours looking for it already, but it seems that mine was missed. I do have a Sysquest cartridge (tape drives like Zip disks) from that period that might have a lot of it, I just need to figure out how to interface with the SCSI reader.

If anybody happens to know something I don't about finding websites, the title of it was "Slasher's Realm" and I believe it was in TimesSquare somewhere, maybe under chasm or tower. Edit: ahh yeah, it seems like mine wasn't crawled before it got deleted http://www.reocities.com/timessquare/chasm/1788/

The Geocities take down was announced well in advance, and I recall dozens of groups attempting to archive all or most of it. Search for "geocities archive" and you will see a number of archives.

I hope you find what you lost. Let us all remember to keep local backups. :)

Warrick will rebuild the site using the Momento framework (which The Archive uses).

If you'd like (free) help, my details are in my profile. This is the sort of stuff I live for.
