There is a video game wiki gopher hole that I use occasionally. gopher://giantgopher.com/ is a gopher front end for GiantBomb.com but with what I find to be a better search interface.<p>There aren't a whole lot of good Gopher browsers out there for Windows. I use <a href="http://jaruzel.com/gopher/gopher-client-browser-for-windows" rel="nofollow">http://jaruzel.com/gopher/gopher-client-browser-for-windows</a> with the text color set to green and the background set to black. From what I hear there is also a Gopher chrome plugin that isn't too bad.<p>For those interested in playing around with gopher development in addition to the tools that are mentioned in the the article there is an old abandoned yet serviceable gopher version of flask kicking around out there that is quick and easy to get going.
Yay for Gopher! I've been running one for a few years now and get several hundred (human) visitors a week - not bad for an "obsolete" protocol. The speed and freedom from ads is a real plus!
You can even play solitaire on gopher: gopher://worldofsolitaire.com/<p>Blog post about it: <a href="https://cosmicrealms.com/blog/2019/06/14/solitaire-over-gopher/" rel="nofollow">https://cosmicrealms.com/blog/2019/06/14/solitaire-over-goph...</a>
The Gemini protocol is also pretty cool and worth checking out.<p><a href="https://gemini.circumlunar.space/" rel="nofollow">https://gemini.circumlunar.space/</a><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)</a>
