Could be these are omitted for a reason, but I have a handful of links to Wayback archives not shown in the above list. Most are without content; little more than home pages. Still, they’re a part of history in our loving little niche.
FF Kurayami
Dyrik’s World of Darkness
Psychics Anonymous
Evangelion RPG
Gundam Universal Wars
Gundam: Endless Battle
Gundam RPG Online
Omega Gundam RPG
MSG Live Fire
Gundam Rage RPG
Final Saiyia-Jin RPG
Starfury’s Gundam Wing RPG – This one’s weird to look at, cause I’m pretty sure it’s a relaunch of the first RPG I ever helped work on.
Gundam Planet Wars
Gundam Maximum RPG
Gundam Elites RPG
If I may, I also have a couple notes:
– Despite being convenient to type as one, After Era was always two words.
– Vash’s All Anime was known as Gohan’s All Anime RPG. It also had a sequel, which (I think) was Gohan’s All Anime RPG 2.
– My World of Darkness RPG was actually in ’03, not ’04.
– All Robots RPG was around back in November of 2000. It was within the first two or three RPGs I joined, after All Gundam. Back in the day, it had a pretty good following.
– If you’re really grasping at straws for the unarchived page, Aku also ran a Star Wars RPG in ’03.

The reason Evangelion RPG isn’t on there is because the site contains some personal info and otherwise depression medicine induced emo rantings from myself that were posted years after it closed, have nothing to do with the game, and that I’d rather not let people have access to.
I’d intended to remake the site without all that added garbage, but just never did it.

A fixed link for Psychics Anonymous.

FF Kurayami was listed under 2005. I’m gonna assume this is an error as the site says 2003. I have made the change. If I am wrong, please correct me.
Everything else is up, Marcus. Except for the Evangelion RPG link. Note, your contributions allowed us to take Gundam Universal Wars, MSG Live Fire and Gundam Planet Wars off the Lost RPGs page
.
Next thing I need to work on is making sure all the archives are actually listed on Meridia instead of web.archive.org or wherever.

Legend of Ourissa should probably not be on there since it only had one update.
Depends on how many updates a game has to have before it counts as being archiveable, I guess.

Went looking for a site in the Wayback Machine, and then lost two hours. Again, these run the gamut from fairly prominent games that are well reserved, to one-page archives I’m listing for the sake of history. Include at your discretion.
Gundam Wars 1.0 – The original MSG Wars site.
Gundam Cataclysm RPG
Gundam Mutant Pilots RPG
Gundam Pilot RPG
– Run by Mercurius Shuivan from After Era. Glenn Strife also helped.
Gundanium Suits RPG
Blackened Sunset RPG – I feel bad, but does anyone know who Eric was?
Return of the Past RPG
Gundam Apocalypse RPG
Saiyin Realm RPG
Dragonball Z The Dungeon RPG
Death of the Hero – Well preserved site; just have to highlight the white area in the middle to see the text.
Gundam Wing RPG
Chrono Centuries
Gundam R RPG – No clue about this one. Just the front page is archived.
Gundam Side 3 RPG – Only the home page. I want to say I remember this one, but not sure.
Gundam Unamatrix RPG – Seems like a Gundam Wars spin-off, based on the “Art of War” section. Last update reads 5/26/2001. The site is remarkably well preserved, for the time. A lot of the pages are intact, including Roster/Battles/Events.
Gundam Hybrid RPG
Trunks DBZ RPG
Extreme Fighting RPG
Final Fantasy Extreme – The precursor to Extreme Fighting RPG. This site is basically non-existent.
Phoenix Reincarnation/AnythingGoes Reincarnation – Combination of two RPGs in one site. I am leaning towards the thought that this “AnythingGoes Robot RPG” was the “All Robots RPG” I mentioned in my previous post. The site’s neat for me, just cause it lists the (sadly, non-archived) link to After Era’s Geocities site. The one we migrated to for a week or two, when Homestead shut down.
AnythingGoes Robot RPG – Damn. I don’t think this is the site. The timeframe is right. Updates from around November 2000 (when I first joined AG). Layout isn’t familiar, though.
Medieval Dragon RPG – Chesley
Found a bunch of links to old Homestead sites, but they all redirected to holder pages. Shame, cause I’m pretty sure Gohan’s All Anime was one of those links.
A link to James’s All Anime (I want to say it went by Ryuuinjin’s All Anime (hence the url), but don’t remember for sure). The Wayback Machine says the site is archived, but the server’s down. Fingers crossed, there was actually something saved.
http://web.archive.org/web/20021015114303/http://www.geocities.com/ryuuinjin
Finally, kind of random, but does anyone remember who went by FugaDraconis back in the day?

My surprise at your finding Gundam Unamatrix RPG cannot be described in words. That was my RPG from long ago but it seems someone took it up after I left. Even changed the story and general setup of the game.

It might take me a while to get through all this. I am having major computer problems right now. Hopefully I can get it fixed soon.

If you guys want to check it out, there’s a new geocities website that has a huge archive of old sites. If they don’t have the site uploaded already, it may be in their offline archives. In that case you would have to post on the forums and request them to recover the sites. Here is the link: http://www.geocities.ws/
