This is not from 1998 lol. It’s just made to look that way. The people behind Thinko are designers.
Indeed, it uses modern HTML5 + CSS, nothing about the site itself is old other than the design and using a <marquee> tag.
Wow the amazon link on the page still works. I wonder which website has more than 22 years of link stability.
The fact that amazon links from 20+ years still work correctly today is amazing to me.
well, halt the amazement, amazon didn't sell whole computers in 1999, let alone 1998.[0]

It's a clever parody though; but I don't remember needing JS as much in The Real 1998 (tm).

You have a point. The website seems to be more recent than it claims.
That matrix-style background animation wasn't known until 1999.
hahaha damn, the old web was marvelous!
