Hi Era. I am Joyce, and I just began an effort to archive gaming sites (especially defunct and obscure ones in danger of going offline and being lost), as well as official game sites. I am starting out with general gaming sites, and I will add official ones to my effort at a later, but not too distant, date.

You can read more about the effort and support me here: https://www.patreon.com/Hovac/

And you can learn about the first site I just archived, to launch my effort, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/postback-18382745

I want this thread to be used for suggestions of sites I should archive. What are your favorite gaming sites and official game sites that you would like to see preserved?

I can't wait to check out your suggestions!

Love, Joyce

I feel like it's an admirable goal to archive these sites, but I don't know if it is the best look to archive one site, then ask for money to do others. Especially since site archival isn't a very grueling or expensive process.

But that said, here's a site I would like to see preserved:

Panel De Pon (Super Famicom) - known as / converted to Tetris Attack (SNES) in the West, it is the first game in the Puzzle League series. The official site even has MP3 arrangements of the excellent music from the game, too!

This official site is from the mid-1990s and is so old that you may need to manually set your browser's text encoding to Shift-JIS to read it.

I am not asking for money to archive anything. I will archive things anyway. But it will eat a lot into my work time, so if people want to help, their help will be appreciated. And the reason I linked my Patreon in the OP is because that is the only site I have to link. I don't have another site. That is my blog, and where my efforts will be published, so it would make no sense not to include it in the OP. And thank you for your contribution, that site looks neat :)
