Another Amazing Interface from Archive.org
November 3, 2014
The Internet Archive has a design motif: A postage stamp album. You can see the Internet Arcade implementation at https://archive.org/details/internetarcade. I can do a screen shot of a very long screen, but I want to show you a snippet of the postage-stamp or card design motif. The interface presents about 890 hot links in the form of postage stamps pasted in a 1050s style album.
Click a link and you will be able to play an arcade game in your browse. Performance can be interesting. The white rectangles in the screenshot indicate that a graphic did not render. I grabbed this image after a period of 10 minutes. Rendering was leisurely. I think the horsepower for the system was munching hay.
There is a search box. A search for “anteater” returned a hit to the arcade game and to other content about anteaters, cockroaches, pest control, and other related concepts. Well, related to anteaters, not to the arcade game.
