Aside from the Cowboy Bebop nostalgia hit, this site is a great example of how clear, creative, and fun sites were in the late 1990s. While I struggle to identify the many reasons why I think sites looked better back then, I think being simple and content focused are two of them.

Sites mostly didn't look this good though, they were even more garish colors and 'under construction' banners

Why is this on here? Sorry, I'm missing the context.

Just thought it was interesting—from a design and content perspective—as the site hasn't changed much since 1999 and it still feels like “ye ol' web”.

I appreciated the intent right away. Thanks for sharing.

Most sites were designed for 640x480 displays too so you really had to keep things concise to fit on the first screen/page.
