Want to see what the internet looked like back in 1996?
I have compiled some screenshots of the more popular sites. How do they compare to today’s versions?
Using the Wayback Machine I put together a list of the more popular sites. Did the internet really look this bad? Well it all had to start somewhere.

Lycos
McDonalds
Microsoft
MSN

Netscape
Pizza Hut
Site Robo4

I hope you enjoyed the list.
