Encarta 95 Web - Microsoft's classic encyclopedia reborn in the browser

Encarta 95 Web is a statically hosted GitHub Pages recreation of Microsoft's beloved Encarta '95 multimedia encyclopedia, letting anyone browse the nostalgic CD-ROM experience directly in a browser. The creator notes the underlying system is "the most convoluted, nonsense and brittle" setup ever built, yet it works entirely as a static site. All content is sourced from the Internet Archive, with the code open on GitHub. It's a time machine for anyone who grew up exploring articles, images, and media on that first CD-ROM drive—no installation or disc required.
