Welcome to the Bralis Seralas Technology Archive.
This is a personal collection documenting the development of computers, software, gaming, the internet and other interesting pieces of technology.
Technology changes quickly. This archive is about looking backwards as well as forwards.
Old computers, old games, old websites and forgotten software are all part of the history of the digital world.
Browse the main areas of the archive.
Personal computers, home computers, workstations and the machines that changed computing.
Intel, AMD, Motorola, ARM and the development of modern processors.
2D graphics, 3D accelerators, GPUs, graphics APIs and visual technology.
Floppy disks, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, USB drives, flash storage and SSDs.
DOS, Windows, Linux, classic Mac OS and other operating systems.
Programs, utilities, shareware, freeware and forgotten applications.
Dial-up, websites, forums, IRC, search engines and online communities.
Personal websites, web design, HTML, blogs and the old internet.
Consoles, PC gaming, graphics, game engines and online gaming.
Early mobile phones, PDAs, smartphones and mobile computing.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning and modern computing.
Dead formats, abandoned hardware, forgotten software and obsolete ideas.

Games have always pushed computer hardware forward.
Early console games stored directly on physical cartridges.
Large storage capacity allowed music, video and bigger games.
Dedicated graphics hardware transformed PC and console gaming.
Networks allowed players to connect and play together.
Games increasingly moved from physical media to digital stores.
Modern game engines provide powerful tools for creating worlds.
Creating a personal archive dedicated to technology development and computing history.
Collecting information about hardware, software and technology that has disappeared from everyday use.
Documenting the personal websites, forums, communities and software that helped create the early web.
More archive entries will be added over time.
Technology is constantly replaced.
Old hardware becomes obsolete. Websites disappear. Software stops being supported. Online communities disappear.
But the history behind those things is still worth remembering.
This archive is an attempt to keep some of that history alive.
REMEMBER:
Everything considered "old technology" was once new.
This archive is maintained by Bralis Seralas.
The project focuses on technology history, computers, gaming, software, the internet and forgotten digital culture.
The goal is to build a growing personal knowledge base and archive.
