What's your favorite old-school website based on design?

Got a favorite old-school website based on design?

Whether you're a fan of that flash-y 90's aesthetic, drawn to the rugged ridiculousness of brutalism, or ya prefer take a stroll down the GeoCities of yesteryear, I wanna know what you're into.

Let me know what kind of old-school design you are particularly fond of below and if you can drop a link or a screenshot for specifics, even better!

p.s. you might find The Wayback Machine helpful for excavating images of those old sites.

My one is the 1996 Space Jam Website
spacejam.com/1996/
I like how much effort they put into making the orbital layout (remember no flexbox , no grid , simply table view ) , they broke the rules and they were creative
