Lol. I haven't seen this since '98.

AFAIK there was a company producing a similar real product about 5-10 years ago.

It was a bunch of GPL interactive Flash Animations.

Very creative/organic for the time. Pre DotCom crash.

Back in the late '90s there was a very early Flash-based website for a company called Eye4U. Looking at it today it's nothing special and even a little corny, but at the time it was mind-blowing. It was like nothing else on the web.

If I tell you, then people will know about it, which is why I like it.

So tell us, then, so that you can like it even more!
