Video Description

EPILEPSY WARNING: This video contains rapid flashing imagery, especially at 21:43 and 44:55. Thanks to JarHead and nitrate92 for giving me early access to their custom server, which is based on zefie's minisrv project! Back in the '90s, the world was introduced to WebTV: a platform that allowed users to experience all that the World Wide Web had to offer, right from the comfort of a couch. And thanks to the work of some independent developers, it's possible to experience it in the modern day!
