This was once the Microsoft home page: http://www.microsoft.com/misc/features/features_flshbk_hp1.h...
Then there's the official Space Jam site (the movie with Michael Jordan, you might want to ask IMDB) which is still up (Kudos to WB:) http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm Click around there to see some spinning buttons and other "nice" stuff.

#34This is why I got into programming. The web was just too cool back in the day.

#35The missing images icon is a fantastic touch, it's only missing an annoying mouse cursor effect (I'm guilty of using them). This bought a tear to my eyes, right before the burning, but it's very nice. Also, did I see rounded corners and the lack of nested tables?
No, but the first thing I did was check to see if every button was a table. Was not disappointed.

There was nothing like the anticipation of the modem dialing, wondering what speed you'd get based on the handshake, or my personal favorite, picking up the phone and getting your younger brother kicked off, just because.

The original website for Space Jam (the movie with Michael Jordan) is still up: http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm Not quite as bad as the OP's link, but still--that was a high-profile professionally designed site in 1996.
This is a real gem! It can't be that much pages left from the ugly-age.
I started out making web sites a bit like this myself i 1995, and it makes me sad all pages are gone except a few pages left in the internet archive.

How is this bad?!
On a side note: I really miss styling scrollbars and running marquee text through the website title and status bars
