I was doing some browsing/research on the internet, when I came across the Internet Archive. I'd never been to this site before, and I found it very useful. One feture I got a kick out of was it's WayBack Machine. This feature allows you to brows archived websites by date and name.

First thing that comes into my head: what did Google look like before I started using it?

Second thing that comes to mind was GameSpot. I remembered that GS has been around forever, and I thought I'd check it out.

Here's the earliest snapshot of it that IA has: Novemebr 6, 1996
- Note the link for a Dial-Up version at the top
- Star Control 3 Demo

Here's GS on my 10th birthday: December 3, 1998
- Top Story: Selecting a 3D graphics card.
- Half-Life nearing completion

Here they are on my 13th birthday: December 3, 2001
- note it's getting a little more modern.

And here's the full archive! Enjoy :P

Also, for those of you who didn't know, GS used to be only for PC, VideoGameSpot.com was for consoles, check it out!
