Now that Kees has kindly sent me Boggly, I'm on a new quest for another French game - Cluedo Light, by Eric Schrafstetter. It's listed on epocboulevard but the download link goes to a dead page. Does anyone have this game or know its whereabouts?

Thanks! It seems that I ought to add web.archive.org to my list of places to look for defunct Psion software. I knew of its existence but I thought they held only HTML content, not downloadable files.

Wow, now I know what the Wayback Machine is! I remember a post a long while ago where fellow member Phil said something about a "wayback machine". Only I thought it was some kind of saying or phrase. I had no idea that the entire internet gets archived at regular time intervals. Quite amazing and very interesting!

Hallo Kees,

Go to http://www.archive.org/web/web.php and type (or copy and paste) an old, nowadays not-existing or even a new URL in the "Take me Back"-search box. Press ENTER and you see a list of archived dates of that URL.

For instance if you type http://www.psionvereniging.nl , you see 53 dates starting from April 27, 1999 up to September 10, 2006. If you choose April 27, 1999 you are rederected to an old archived site; http://web.archive.org/web/19990427215914/http://www.psionvereniging.nl/
.

Maybe it's not looking all perfect, but it gives you a change to see old sites and mostly even get downloads you have probably been searching for for decades...

Regards,

Richard

I think they don't save archive files like ZIP, RAR and stuff but SIS is unknown so we have luck

Hi Jonas,

You might be surprised what you can find; even .ZIP-files!
