A trip down memory lane and a useful resource for late 90s and early 2000s Windows PCs

 

Who's Tempest and what's his lair?

Some time in the 90's I got my first modem and discovered dial-up internet, MSN BBS & IRC. I needed a handle and the first thing that caught my eye was a can of Lynx Tempest. Over the years, Tempest became Temp and later Tmp. In 2000 my MSN account was hacked and I had to create a new one.... Tmp2k

Tempest's Lair was the first HTML website I built and published on Geocities. This website is inspired by (and uses some of the assets from) the original site I built back in 1998. It should run on early versions of IE, which means everything is accessible from your Windows 3.1, 95 or 98 PC. I've tried to keep everything as it was back then.
