Here are some old versions of ScrollBoss pages. Many of these open in new windows (or tabs depending on what browser you roll with) because there's no navigation to get back. Except for the original Tripod ScrollBoss, the other remakes are incomplete. The later archives have been slightly recoded to have less code bloat, but there are almost no real links. I really don't feel like fixing up all of my old failiures. Still, you may find a secret link here and there.
July ??, 2000 - The original Tripod site builder version of ScrollBoss. Yes, I was making crappy Hi-Res sprite edits back then. The old page top banner (also seen here) has the redone Golden Axe background that I made in 1998. All that I had then was a bunch of Sega Smash Pack screenshots with messed-up palettes that I tried to fix by hand. There weren't many site templates for Tripod back then so I picked the one without all the goofy graphics. A lot of those images may or may not show up now. Very few people ever saw this version of the site because I had problems with the site program. The Golden Axe screenshot would never show up for some odd reason and I'm leaving it like that for so-called historical purposes.
ScrollBoss Index page: April 28, 2001 - This is the old version where the index page and the main menu were the same thing. This was also a mix of Angelfire's site builder, the program I used to build the page, and Microsoft Front Page which I used to edit it a bit more. I also had to trim a buttload of unnecessary tags out of it. The banner's background was from a pencilled pic that was never finished. If you squint, you can see Link, a bit of Goemon and the upper-right corner of Sonic the Hedgehog's head. The stupid time release features were (in this order): Music Test, Sound Test and Dream Sequels, a section that never got off the ground.
ScrollBoss Main Menu: June 12, 2002 - This was the last real update on the Angelfire version of the site back when my account was frozen. At this time, MugenBoss was separated from ScrollBoss and uploaded to my Tripod account as a separate website. It was frozen like this until 2006. Most of the links have been deactivated but I've left the horrible typo in the June 12 entry as it was. Even in 2002, I was apologizing for crappy updates and using the word crappy a lot. Yes, I only had one sprite page in those days. To this day I can't believe there was a time that ScrollBoss only had one sprite page. That “You should be payin' ME line” was a quote from something that I can no longer remember and not me having an ego trip. It was either a song, a movie or a song that sampled a movie. Damn, that looks so irritating and net-snarky to me now.
ScrollBoss Index: Oct. 16 & Nov. 14th 2004 - The picture in the middle would be changed every once in a while, but the index page has looked like this for most of ScrollBoss' life. The Golden Axe sprites and Monty Python quote have been there since the later Angelfire days but I really planned to rotate different sprites and phrases around every once in a while. I couldn't think of anything that I liked better than that and they were never replaced. By pure coincidence, the index page announces that I added an old version of ScrollBoss to the site. Doesn't that just blow your mind? Of course not. Jeebus Tap-dancing Creepers, that picture of Guy needs food badly. Somebody get that ninja some chicken! The Main Menu was from about a month later and it turns out to be the last version of the site before I remade it with PHP-laced goodness.
MugenBoss: 2004 - The last version of the stand-alone MugenBoss site. Not all of the pages have been remade. See the old so-called character page that I made to tell people that the site had no characters. I still got non-foreign e-mails from people asking how to download the characters. Any stage that is still available on the site can be downloaded on the Backgrounds page but I even threw in a stage that you can't get on the current MugenBoss site.
Well, that's enough of that filler material mess. I may add more to this later.
