Im talking about games that have been offered only on websites.

Yes, I am fully aware of “The Wayback Machine” internet archive. To the best of my knowlege, it does not allow applets or other non text to be experienced.

I am wondering specifically about the “classic” Iwin games, back when [Iwin.com](http://Iwin.com) was Black and Lime Green, and a Stick figure type person, with hands up, was the logo.

and

the games from [ArcadePlanet.com](http://ArcadePlanet.com) in general.  
I understand that for legal reasons, or personal tastes by those who control the websites, that the games are deleted for other items.  
How soon before we Experience another Library of Alexandria over Internet media?
