    EDIT 2020-05-29:
    If the process below does not work, you can also try adding www.archive to the URL instead of just archive. Like so: http://www.archive.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=7143

    EDIT 2022-01-05:
    Note that the archive is not on https, only http.
    If you get redirected you may be sent to https automatically. Just remove the s and it should work.


    For those of you who want to see the archives, go here for an overview of our news over the years. For articles, go here.

    Articles
    Any broken links like
    http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=7143
    can be fixed by replacing www with archive like so:
    http://archive.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=7143
    This should work any time you get redirected to a www link while browsing the archive as well.

    If pictures in an article are broken and a concern for you, you may have to use the Wayback Machine at http://archive.org/web/ and browse for snapshots with working pictures. As an example, compare http://archive.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=7143 and http://web.archive.org/web/20120819124248/http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=7143
    If this does not work, try searching on archive.is instead.

    Gallery
    Old gallery pictures should be available somewhere in the current gallery.
    The archived gallery might not work, but all images are mirrored here in the same categories, so you should be able to find what you are looking for.
    E.g. http://archive.is/4mIAY is filed under Concept Art/Images and the same picture with the Leonard Boyarsky story underneath it can be found in the current gallery under Fallout 1 -> Concept Art/Images, specifically at http://www.nma-fallout.com/gallery/photos/fallout-tales-2-sketch.2489/

    Downloads
    You can also find the old and very out of date downloads. Use the old downloads at your own risk.
    http://archive.nma-fallout.com/downloads.php
    If you ever get redirected back to a www url like this:
    http://www.nma-fallout.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1447
    just switch it for archive (just like with the articles) and the download should work, like this:
    http://archive.nma-fallout.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1447
    Do the same thing if you get an error when you are directed to the file download itself.

    Forum
    The old forum can be accessed via
    http://archive.nma-fallout.com/forum.php
    All threads in the archived forum were copied to the current forum, so it is completely redundant.
    Do not post in the archived forum even if you can, because no one will see your posts on the new forum if you do.

    Enjoy!
