It's nice and creative, and that's what matters, people remember these web experience, that's why Flash was popular back then, it was all about impact, when today, the great majority of websites slap the exact same (bootstrap/material) layout, the same typography, down to the same "allegra" illustrations and nobody remember any of these... But it's definitely not the craziest website I've ever seen.

What would be one more crazy? Curious.

Within a few seconds of loading, Safari gave me a warning: “This webpage is using significant memory. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac.” Cool site still.

And yet it worked perfectly on my iPad Pro.

Can’t wait to get an M1 Mac.

Attention: It nearly flipping fried my CPU. But awesome site. Tested On both Safari and Chrome on macOS. 100% CPU usage when scrolling. Edit: On WOW, from the comments I decide to try it on my iPhone 11. Ultra Smooth Rendering with Music ( which wasn't even playing on my Mac ). And my phone isn't even warm after a minutes of playing around. Amazing Which makes me wonder. Why?

It was pretty smooth actually, and I'm on a Intel N5000 with 4 gigs of RAM. Not sure it uses WebGL or CSS, but the performances are rather good.

I think the most creative and intelligent designs I ever saw, they disappeared with flash.

It's not the type of "crazy" you're looking for, but as far as craziest websites, Time Cube was a strong contender.

For those who don't know, a Family Office is "a privately held company that handles investment management and wealth management for a wealthy family, generally one with over $100 million in investable assets" (as per Wikipedia) relating to the Nintendo Founder family

Just saw this before bed. Geezus. Bringing the early 2000s web design experience vibes. Website of the family of the founder of Nintendo. Of course it's like this. Ha

Family office, as in the wealth managers responsible for the Nintendo family fortune:

Hiroshi Yamauchi (previous CEO) alone had a net worth of around $8 billion at peak:

Which is why the CxOs are all ex-Goldman Sachs, Nomura, Deutsche, etc.
