I got flickering when looking at it on my iPad. I’m not sure if that was a deliberate attempt to emulate a CRT (and I don’t remember any of the CRTs I had when I was a kid flickering that bad, although I have certainly used some terrible CRT screens that flickered a lot). Certain parts of the past are not worth emulating :)

Typical CRT flicker was pretty subtle, especially at high refresh rates. It becomes more pronounced at low refresh rates, or simply bad monitors. Making a silly effect on a website to evoke a nostalgic feeling doesn't really have to be accurate, and it'd probably be near-impossible to accurately represent the subtleties of a CRT display without compounding them with the subtleties of LCDs, especially so when the LCDs an end user will be using is an unknown.
