What I've done before (and could "dust off"), is to Install an old version of Ubuntu (which I used in the Olden days) inside a Virtual Machine (Virtualbox in the past, but I've been experimenting, lately with KVM/Qemu), and enjoying the Website there. One caution: Use that Old OS (and Browser) *only* for these, known Old Sites. Don't browse the Open Internet there, unless you've taken a Snapshot, which you can Restore!
