I got carried away and started playing the Age of Empires Demo from the desktop after I exited Encarta

Nice! Here’s the permalink for “Rock Music” (it’s funny how this is implemented)<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benwinding.github.io&#x2F;encarta_95_web&#x2F;#&#x2F;article&#x2F;Rock%20Music" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benwinding.github.io&#x2F;encarta_95_web&#x2F;#&#x2F;article&#x2F;Rock%2...</a>

Just checked, the Soundgarden clip is in its proper place on the Rock Music article. Fantastic work.

Oh God I remember running this on my dad&#x27;s computer which had the first CD-ROM drive I had seen. I felt like I was in a spaceship

Oh, that&#x27;s very nostalgic, even though I only got acquainted with Encarta in the 2000s

wow blast from the past. I do beleive this exact version prob in exactly 95 was the first CD I ever inserted into a CD rom. lots of fun!

Encarta is super nostalgic, and I was surprised it wasn&#x27;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!Please note: All the material on this site is freely available through the internet archive (see github readme)Github repo -&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;benwinding&#x2F;encarta_95_web" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;benwinding&#x2F;encarta_95_web</a>
