HUBMASTER'S CHOICE FOR DECEMBER 1995

This page is dedicated to the HUBMASTER'S CHOICE. Each month, the HUBMASTER of ARIZONA'S WEBHUB selects a particularly informative and well-designed web page that either covers Arizona-related information, is administered on an Arizona-based server or is related to Arizona in some other way. This month's award goes to the web sites for two major sporting events in Arizona coming up in the new year:

1996 Fiesta Bowl Web Site
In the first site of its kind for a bowl game, Arc Slide Technologies has put together a very professionally designed and exciting web site for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, featuring pages on the history of the bowl game as well as a calendar of events, a shopping mall, information on college teams standings, AP 1995 Ratings, and links to obligatory Frito-Lay-hyping contests and CBS Sports. All pages are distinguished by a consistant, colorful and elegant design and contain a lot of useful information about the upcoming Fiesta Bowl and the events surrounding it. Arc Slide Technologies Ltd. is a complete in-house electronic design and communications company based in New Jersey.

Super Bowl XXX Host Commitee Web Site

The Official Super Bowl XXX Host Commitee Web Site, developed by Arizona State University, offers information on the Host Commitee, its members, programs and volunteer opportunities - all on bright green artificial turf. The pages also contain many links to other sites with useful information on travel, restaurants, sports, etc in Arizona as well as a wide variety of NFL-related data. A Shopping Mall area is still without products and the Super Bowl XXX Host Committee Events promises many games, contest and special events many of which have yet to become active links.

The most impressive link off of the Host Commitee's pages is to the:

Super Bowl Road Trip Contest

The Super Bowl Road Trip Contest is a very entertaining site designed by Phoenix-based Tracer Design, Inc, an Internet marketing company. The Road Trip is playing on Sandbox, the premier interactive entertainment network on the World Wide Web. It is a game that "begins in New York and heads across the U.S. on an odyssey of adventure, discovery, and challenge. Driving a classic '57 Chevy convertible, each player is given a fixed amount of money for gas and expenses. Along the way, trivia questions, riddles, puzzles, and games of chance are opportunities to make or lose money. Success at the end is measured by who has the highest score, a combination of time and money." Tracer Design first appeared on the Internet scene earlier this year with the nationally acclaimed CyberHunt game which was the first corporate-sponsored interactive, online game for the Internet. In Cyberhunt, "contestants must decipher clues and solve riddles in search of an elusive online character named Vincent who travels inside the Internet from site to site. The clues and riddles lead contestants to various sites where they will either find Vincent or be given another clue concerning his whereabouts. Cyberhunt provides an entertaining, educational way to navigate the Internet with multiple opportunities to win prizes."
