i remember mid-2000s or so, Google indexed some very obscure formats, you could search & find results within a c64 tape or what not. they dropped that eventually, i guess it was "clever but not useful" for 99.99% of audience

couldnt even find an email or anything

Gyrominiac (21:31:39)
anyhow eracore was the one who got in contact with phandral technically, i wouldnt have been able to reach out to that guy if it weren't for him

Gyrominiac (21:30:54)
oldchap: phandral's adlib stuff is pretty distinctive! though personally i think it pales in comparison to his samplebased xms

Gyrominiac: Eracore should be a good person to ask

mirrorbird (21:30:36)
they do seem to keep "unknown format" stuff but only if the file size is very small.

mirrorbird (21:30:08)
surprising what can you still find sometimes (especially ancient links and then web.archive) -- but so much is gone. it took a bit of digging to find that weird old finnish-language ZX Spectrum text adventure but got it in the end

Gyrominiac (21:29:15)
-get back in contact with him". and i found it like a day after i read that response email LMAO
