I was looking at my Days Live counter this morning and I thought, Gee, it seems a lot longer than that (It was 1,625 if I'm not mistaken). So I decided to take a look at The Internet Archive and see what the oldest page they had for my site.
The oldest page they had of mine was in December of 1998. However, when viewing that page, the oldest information was October 10th, 1998.
So with that, I adjusted the date and this site has been live for 2,202 days, or if you prefer, 6 years, 10 days. How time flies! I'm sure it's been a couple months before that (maybe 6), but they don't have a record of anything prior to that, so who really knows :-)
If you want to see what the site looked like back them, head over to the Internet Archive and enter the following URL's...

It's kind of cool to see how it's evolved over the years and to see how my collection has changed and grown over the years!
In December of 1998, I had 12 games. 8 Cabs, 4 PCB's.
Today I have 64 games, 24 Cabs, and 40 PCBs!
Had I kept all my games I would have 31 cabs, however I don't have the room for that many :-)
Games that are no longer part of my collection....
Popeye (I have boards for it, so it may come back)
Thief
Gorf
Side Arms
Crystal Castles
Bosconian (Twice)
