> Geocities had an interactive 2D map, allowing users to navigate through these virtual spaces. (1994)

I got online around ~10 years old in ~1998 and got into web dev soon after. I remember using Geocities and Angelfire and FortuneWeb and all that but I do not remember this interactive 2D map. I do remember the various "communities" or neighborhoods but not this. Was it gone by this point or was I just so focused on the free hosting I never noticed?

It took me a long time to realize the web was so new back when I started out, less then a decade old itself. Pretty surreal to see where its gone.

They actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance. https://www.spacejam.com/1996/

They moved everything under /1996 when the new movie came out, and while doing so they broke some pages.

I'm not sure how younger folks would feel seeing this...perhaps that it's ugly, less useful, sparse. And they'd be a bit right. But for me this was a hit of pure nostalgia, flipping item to item. Almost like looking through an old photo album of memories you'd forgotten years back. Thanks Neal for putting it together. Slightly fun fact - the original Space Jam site stayed intact until 2021! https://web.archive.org/we…

I love how the new Space Jam website is ALSO in the 90's style! https://www.spacejam.com/2021/

They managed to break https://www.spacejam.com/ though. It redirects to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ which has a bad cert and then goes into a redirect loop.

So broken after just 4 years
