Radio Room EZboard archive suddenly resurrected!

[Onkel Neal]

Ok, someone noticed Google has a link to their old search engine in honor of their 10 year anniversary and they googled Subsim...they found the Subsim Radio Room ver. 2, the EZboard forum. He notified me, have a look:

Anyone have any ideas on capturing the data from that db? That would be worth something from me.

I didn't see any swinging sausages (http://web.archive.org/web/20011112111155/pub31.ezboard.com/fboatsfrm3.showMessage?topicID=30.topic):ping:

Take a look at HTTrack Website copier (http://www.httrack.com/). I've used it before to make a local copy of websites to use when I didn't have internet access. It takes some time to pull everything and store and index it, but I know it works.

SSI makes a shift toward consoles
I've been hearing a lot of talk lately that the SSI/Learning Co. focus will be redireceted more towards console games. The sims they are currently producing are expected to reach completion.

With PC sales softening and less people feeling compelled to upgrade as frequently as in the past (and why should they? How much power does the average user need to run IE5 and Word?), the move of mainstream PC gaming companies to consoles could make a BIG difference in PC develoment.

Alas!

Even back then after the 2k bug hocuspocus nonsense everybody had bought or upgraded to the latest system back then... Thats why the PC market died for awhile....
Till they realized it wasn't the end of the world.. It was the biggest gimmik ever and it worked. I remember in sales working for a distributer back then the market was almost dead for PCs.

But by then, many game companies where switching over to consoles or where on the road to doing so...

Still in many ways your right even today, how many people really need uber computers? Who will spend $6k on a gaming system? That never has changed. PC gamers are the underdogs of the gaming world.

Then and now console platforms are the cash cow for gaming enterainment.:up:
