Somehow the Dole/Kemp site from 96 is still going: http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm Someone must have a decent list, some kinda of "Awesome 90s" list on GitHub or something?

Seeing that motion-blurred animated GIF banner at the bottom gave me an intense nostalgia rush, I made a good living making those banners for a year or 2 back in the late 90s. $50-150 per banner ($25/frame), doing a few each evening, with a month or 2 backlog in the queue. It was a fun and easily-profitable era if you knew even the basics of web/graphics.

  That motion-blurred animate GIF also remind me of some videogames from that era. Anyone with more knowledge can explain why that style was used in the late 90s? Was it about low resolution and small palettes?

    My take- Photoshop was relatively novel at the time, and motion blur was one of the earliest filters. Do this at varying levels for a few frames and you’ve got yourself an eye-catching animated gif with minimal effort.

    Each frame of the GIF in the banners took a noticeable amount of time to load back then, so the motion blur added to the movement effect, as well as signalling to the viewer that it was actually movement and not a static slideshow (which was also a common style of banner animation). I distinctly remember playing with different amounts of motion blur to see which one looked most appropriate for that animation, and simulating acceleration/etc by having the motion blur increase/decrease.
