Hey now, it's still active in Norway. My maternal grandmother use it often, and I've spent many a day just browsing through it. Sure, it's 15-20 years ago, but hey. If I'm bored and the TV is on, I fire up the old teletext and surf through it. Read the news, see if any of the old games are still active (they usually aren't) et cetera.

They even have online versions as well!

e: Slightly off topic, but what VM setup have you had the most success with for getting old PDA software to work? I have a VTech Helio (with dock and USB-RS232 adapter) and I haven't been able to make it work with QEMU/Windows 98 yet, for some reason.

isn't flash still used as middleware for making menus and inteface things in games?

Yeah, a couple of games do that using Scaleform.
