James Pangartica is a graphic designer, web developer, and digital archivist. He is best known as the webmaster of Jamesland, a personal website that hosts original projects and an archive of online games.
Philosophy and work
James has developed several original games, in addition to numerous web-based projects, interactive tools, and experimental works. His website is regularly updated and serves as both a creative portfolio and a repository of digital media.
Jamesland features a curated library of browser-based games, including a personal collection of archived Flash games. Many of these titles reflect the creator’s and his peers’ early online experiences. In response to the decline of Adobe Flash support, James has worked to preserve these games by enabling them to run locally and remain accessible online.
Most games hosted on the site are playable directly in the browser without requiring user accounts or additional software. Some exceptions require a browser environment that supports Adobe Flash due to compatibility limitations with emulation tools such as Ruffle. The website is supported in part by non-intrusive advertising to offset hosting costs.

Game development
Pangartica is the creator of several original games, including United States vs Canada, Jameaquarium, and James Fight. These works feature recurring characters such as Bo, Anqi, Harry, Jerry, James, and Mike. His projects incorporate a mix of photographic elements, contextual humor, exaggerated audiovisual effects, and retro-inspired graphics.
Lost media recovery
James has also been involved in the restoration and preservation of obscure or non-functional web-based games and websites. One notable example is Mainsweeper (まいんスイーパー), which was previously available only as a non-functional file on the Internet Archive. The game relied on external image assets hosted on the now-defunct website chibitami.net, rendering it unplayable in its archived form.
To restore functionality, missing assets were reconstructed using available gameplay footage, and the original SWF file was modified to reference newly hosted resources. Following these modifications, the game was successfully restored and made fully playable.
Additional restoration efforts include the recovery of original image assets associated with Dead Karl (倒吊男), as well as the reconstruction of his offline website to host the materials. Other notable projects include the restoration of the Smoothie Operator website originally hosted by PBS Kids, promotional websites for the Keroro Gunso (ケロロ軍曹) Nintendo DS games, an earlier version of the Element Animation website along with its associated browser game, and Pyongyang Racer.
