Just wanted to share some cool niche, maybe "obscure" websites on this list. I encourage others to share, but of course make sure the content is age/list/group appropriate (generally I would suggest the content be all-ages appropriate)

Great idea! I love websites like this. Some of my faves:
Fun fact about cabbag.es --- I was looking at domains to buy a few years ago and saw that one, and really thought about it.. But ultimately decided against it b/c it's not "professional" or w/e. When I looked a few months later it was snapped up. I still regret not buying it when I had the chance but it's pretty cool now so
Marginalia search is also a good place for discovering these types of sites. https://search.marginalia.nu/
I really like https://neal.fun/ it's a really interesting site with many games and experiences

Amazing collection, thanks for having taken the time to share this.
I love wiby.me;as a matter of fact it represents now one of my favourite spare time activities, as I'd often find myself dwelling amid the hidden corners of web 1.0. I keep adding new urls as I come across them.
Another good search engine for legacy computers is FrogFind: http://frogfind.com/
I'll add also grep.geek for obscure OpenNIC domains: https://www.opennic.org/projects/
The first retro website coming to mind is the Descent's Champions Ladder: http://descentchampions.org/
I also like hanging around VortexBBS: https://www.vortexbbs.com/
And IRIX Network: https://irixnet.org/
Cheers!
