"Projects such as the Internet Archive are either extraordinarily selective – type ‘Wipeout’ into the search function and you’ll get just one video match for the first game – or require a detailed knowledge of what existed in the past to search stored http addresses directly."
The Internet Archive generally lacks searchability. I'd really love to be able to do keyword searches on the web archive, but it doesn't do that. However, without a whole lot more computing power being added to their server farm, it's not going to happen - the site already feels very slow. This means the Archive isn't really a good judge of how accessible something is... so what it needs is some _current_ site (like Wikipedia or a Wikia) to have a direct link to the Archive, which would then make that content accessible.
