NE Archive:
Here you will find old versions of the website and old files that have accumulated
throughout the years. There's nothing of any real importance here except for those
curious of the history of the site and for my own nostalgic record keeping.
Lost Files
I found the perfect quote to describe this section:
"You don't need to think that
its only you who has a hundred incomplete programs in your QBasic folder, or floating
around on floppy disks or on USB memory sticks. We all do, so be proud of your collection,
even if it's just for your own sake." - Jack Thomson for
the QBasic Station
Eriksen Inc Website - (3/9/1999)
This is the original Nukem Enterprises website. This isn't how the site always looked.
I just found a copy from the day I tried out frames for the first time. I thought
it was interesting. The frames don't work right (they open in the same frame as
the link) but you can see the obvious connection with the next version of the NE
website.
Eriksen Inc Website - (3/28/1999)
This is where it started. (It even goes back to the first update). This is how the
site looked 99% of the time it was active. It was a no-flare, simple, GeoCities
Qbasic website. It's pretty interesting to see how much things have changes since
then. (In style and personality). At the time I was around 8th-9th grade! =-o!
Nukem Enterprises Web Site - (11/19/2002)
This is the second layout of the NE website. This layout was kept through Sublime
Inc. to the current naming scheme. As you can see, the original websites were much
darker than the current. (Yes, it's possible). This site existed from around 1999-2002.
It existed at http://members.aol.com/billa485 and later at www.geocities.com/nukemn0w/
. It's funny to see the last update was in regards to Wry
3! (which still has yet to come out. :P) This was still a Qbasic only website.
Nukem Enterprises' Programming Web Site - (8/22/06)
This was the last design of the website. This design lasted from November 2002 to
August 2006. It was still dark in design but a lot more user friendly. (No more
annoying frames). As you can also see, the site has moved from its original "Qbasic
Only" website genre to a general "Programming website" encapsulating the Qbasic,
C/C++, and Java platforms which is still hosts to this day.
Nukem Enterprises - "The Down-Time Years" - (6/18/09)
This is sort of a stand-by NE website that was hosted on GeoCities during the time
when I was hosting the main site on my own server locally. The main site had
HORRIBLE
uptime as it was just running on a Linux box in my bedroom. When the main site was
down, I would point the website URL to this endpoint as a placeholder with an update
as to what's going on (if I remembered). The interesting thing about this site is
its super compact layout. There is just a link to the forums, a "latest thread ticker"
and updates. Latest update is about GeoCities finally closing for good.
