Built around the aesthetic and hardware limitations of 2-bit graphics, this quirky personal site from a creator known as 2Bit celebrates the original Game Boy era with game reviews, hardware pages, memes, and Easter eggs. The site itself renders in only four colors as a nod to its theme, and includes chiptune background music and blog posts musing on generational identity and retro tech.

CD.TEXTFILES.COM is a digital archive preserving data from 'shovelware' CDs of the late 1980s and early 1990s, which inadvertently captured a wealth of BBS-era content. A treasure trove for retro computing enthusiasts, it offers a rare window into early online culture through the very discs that tried to cash in on it.

NANDRAID2 is the personal homepage of 'raid', a hobbyist based in Fort Worth who hosts their site on a credit-card-sized computer connected via Ethernet. The site features a bright new layout with webrings, a project page, and a blog, giving it a classic old-web personal homepage feel with a hardware-tinkering twist.

Run by Sam 'Doc TB' Demeulemeester, this vault is a deep-dive resource dedicated to engineering sample CPUs, the pre-production processors issued by manufacturers during chip development that often expose cancelled features, transitional steppings, and unreleased configurations. A labor of love since 2002, the site chronicles the history and variations of ES CPUs alongside broader vintage computing restoration and experimentation.
