Update: My recent hunt for old game guides online revealed a forgotten site still running on pure 90s html.

That crusty Zelda walkthrough page from 1997, frozen in time with neon text and under construction gifs, feels more genuine than any modern wiki.

Remember how those pages forced you to actually read and figure things out? Modern guides just hand you the answer instantly. Makes the whole discovery part feel cheap.

Sounds a bit dramatic for some old web pages.

You said modern guides hand you the answer instantly. Is it the quick answer that bugs you, or is it more that the old, janky sites felt like a shared project? Like you were reading notes from one real person to another, mistakes and all.
