We miss the days of frivolous, immersive websites with easter eggs and games and interactive things on them.
With that, we remembered the interactive game that featured on the old Boards of Canada site, and thankfully, there’s a document of it!
Uploaded to YouTube and featuring the music of BoC – therefore very pleasant indeed – the video shows what you could do on the site.
The user that uploaded the clip, says:
“Me playing the old shockwave-based web game that was on Boards of Canada’s website back around the time their album “Geogaddi” released. The game features a multitude of “kaleidoscope”, “reflected panorama” and “island world” scenes that features various pieces of music from the duo, including three unreleased tracks: Trails, Gann, and Time Apple/Kaleidoscope. The game took over the whole structure of the site in early 2002 up until mid 2005 to announce of their upcoming album “The Campfire Headphase”.”
Enjoy.
