  gopher://worldofsolitaire.com/ This gopher hole is a good example of how Gopher doesn't have an notion of cookies. You can see what is either gamestate or some sort of session id encoded in the URL. Another way to do this kind of thing is to generate "parallel universes".

Essentially trading dynamic page generation for hard drive space.
