In 1993-1994, BBSes started carrying GRASP and FLICK animation files. Bsically CGA, often 16-color grayscale (laptops and luggables were still mostly monochrome/grayscale) and loops a few seconds long. GIFs were around but always stills, rarely animated because JPEG was just beginning to proliferate. I'm always surprised I don't see more pervs reminiscing about these, but maybe I'm just an edge case (pun intended). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Animation_System_for_Professionals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Animation_System_for_... Some SFW(!) GRASP and FLICK examples on this Web1.0 page, but the GRASPRT.EXE in the juggler.zip is 16-bit and is looking like a journey to get running itself. http://www.juggling.org/animations/old.html http://www.juggling.org/animations/old.html
