I got a kick out of one channel where the guy said in 1991 "The rise of political correctness on college campuses".<p>Oh my! The more things change the more they stay the same.
I need scrambled HBO late night to feel it's real.<p>I used to be able to slam the top of the cable box sometimes to unscramble the feed. Talking about a proper cable box with a dial. 1-60. This might be why punching equipment is now my first line of recourse when dealing with technical issues.<p>Anyway, a box I can thunder slam would be a nice addition. If not, that's cool.
There is one obvious mistake. The 90's didn't officially begin until September 24, 1991 when Nirvana dropped Nevermind. Anything before that is still 80's.
YouTube Time Machine has been doing this for awhile, and they do a _great_ job at it:<p><a href="http://yttm.tv" rel="nofollow">http://yttm.tv</a>
This is amazing. I'm watching a newscast covering the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. They have someone on there speculating about how they could evacuate people off the roof with baskets and helicopters. It's so eerie, watching this now.<p>Before that, there was a newscast talking about teen obesity in the US--only 15% of teens were overweight.<p>And the clothes...pleated khaki chinos, jean shirts, paisley ties. LOL.
Neat. Came across this ad from AT&T about connectivity.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kfIFDX9kE4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kfIFDX9kE4</a>
Nice.<p>BTW, if the creator is listening, if you add "pointer-events: none;" to all the elements above the YouTube player we'll be able to close the ads.
Really captured the experience of 90s TV. No fast forward. Instead, you have to change the channel every 10-30 seconds until you found something that held your attention. There was an anxious boredom that permeated the 90s.
The Computer Chronicles from 1984<p><a href="http://www.my80stv.com/#cmhtRHw_Bv0" rel="nofollow">http://www.my80stv.com/#cmhtRHw_Bv0</a>
For some reason I always knew something like this was coming. All that content form the 90's must be stored somewhere out there and one of us would recreate the channels in a way that we could relive it.<p>I really wish this gets to something real and that I might be able to show my kids in the future the cartoons that I grew up on.<p>Great work on this project!
I'd love something like this but for the internet. Wayback Machine is cool, but pretty slow, and modern browsers tend to render things a bit differently.<p>Someone should be able to compile a 1990s web browser with Emscripten, right?
This is quite a blast from the past, Green PCs: <a href="http://www.my90stv.com/#7Hm7gi5pGeM" rel="nofollow">http://www.my90stv.com/#7Hm7gi5pGeM</a><p>Apple's representative talking about packaging was particularly interesting.
Wow. Check out my80stv.com Specials. It has KCSM's Computer Chronicles. Lots of old school tech is demonstrated, current events are discussed, people wrongly predict the future... It's amazing.
brilliant! one small criticism - 60, maybe 99 channels MAX!<p>yes I am sure some folks had more, but double digits were the standard. and yes I'm a 90's teenager, 80s child.
Everything loads for me except the (I assume) videos and I get a special message:<p>"WARNING: This site only works on desktop browsers currently :|"<p>Does this use Flash or something?
