In created one a few years ago dedicated to a video game I played as a child:

I had to use CSS to implement a <blink> equivalent.

That ad for the game, complete with a bored teenager. Perfection. I miss the 80's.

That camera with the stack of flashbulbs tho! Used to see that sort of thing at weddings and other family events all the time in the 80s.

Yes they were fun. Especially when your older brother wakes you up in the middle of the night by flashing one on your face.

I don’t remember them by the mid 80s. I remember them in the 70s and early 80s.

Yeah, that's true, they were definitely more of an early 80s thing. I certainly don't remember seeing anything like them later than primary school years.
