Show HN: Encarta 95 Web
benwinding.github.ioEncarta is super nostalgic, and I was surprised it wasn't available to use online. So I embarked on the difficult task of making it so.
The way this works is the most convoluted, nonsense and brittle system ever... but it works as a statically hosted gh-pages site!

I got carried away and started playing the Age of Empires Demo from the desktop after I exited Encarta
Back to prompting now.
Oh God I remember running this on my dad's computer which had the first CD-ROM drive I had seen. I felt like I was in a spaceship
Just checked, the Soundgarden clip is in its proper place on the Rock Music article. Fantastic work.
Nice! Here’s the permalink for “Rock Music” (it’s funny how this is implemented)

Oh, that's very nostalgic, even though I only got acquainted with Encarta in the 2000s
