As a surfer, I have to assume they are deleted since they are not on line.
Most of geocities I hit, are the one page, "I built this tube *** amp" or
"I found this $5 speaker and here it is after refinishing".
Mine is a mixture of videogaming news, videogame consoles (largely Sega &
Nintendo, though I have a few pages on the Phantom console too) and pages
based around Phantasy Star Online - with pictures of some of the creatures
from the game and pics of mine & my mates
characters.
It was initially coded on my Sega Dreamcast games console (which was how
I
first got access to the internet at home).
If anyone is bored, or is interested in seeing it you can find it here:
