Rewind — Pick a decade, get the real thing
An interactive archive of seven decades, pairing playable games, sourced photographs, broadcast-style design, and rabbit holes from the 1950s through the 2010s.
Field notes
The project organizes its material as seven decade-specific channels rather than a conventional chronological archive. Each channel pairs editorial moments with eight listed verified photographs and a period-linked playable landmark, including Spacewar!, NetHack, Freeciv, QWOP, and 2048. Its 1990s portal adds a deliberately period-specific interface containing a Titanic fan shrine, mix-CD files, an instant-message exchange, a guestbook, and an 11-item secret hunt.
